Bullet that killed Charlie Kirk doesn't match accused shooter's rifle

Tyler Robinson's defense team, representing the man accused of murdering conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University last September, has filed a motion casting doubt on the ballistic evidence. According to a court document, the ATF was unable to match the bullet recovered during the autopsy with the rifle Robinson allegedly used.

The finding, which the defense calls exculpatory evidence, has reignited theories of evidence tampering. While some point to a possible bullet swap in the evidence storage, others note that the motion is merely a defense argument, not yet verified. What is clear is that the investigation has failed to link the bullet to the seized weapon.

This unexpected twist raises more questions than answers. An ATF blunder, tampering, or just a legal tactic? For now, the case grows more complicated and the truth remains elusive.
