‘Bullet doesn’t match’: Bombshell claim from lawyers of Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer Tyler Robinson (www.news.com.au)

The bullet that killed conservative commentator Charlie Kirk did not match the rifle used by his alleged murderer, Tyler Robinson, according to an incredible new claim from his lawyers.

The 22-year-old Robinson is facing multiple charges, which are eligible for the death penalty, over Kirk’s murder at Utah Valley University late last year.

But his defence attorneys have argued that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (AFT) had been “unable to identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr Robinson”.

😮🫣 yea, makes totally sense to take alcohol and tobacco under the same umbrella as firearms and explosions 🤯

"they just have so much to do"

Is the weirdest take on the ATF so far.

See what else are they supposed to do at the ATF?

If you cant drink why smoking and firing guns what else are you supposed to do?
