Lawyers for Tyler Robinson, charged with killing Charlie Kirk, requested a delay in the preliminary hearing to review extensive evidence and a bullet analysis. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives found inconclusive results linking a bullet fragment to the rifle. Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty, citing DNA evidence connecting Robinson to the crime. Defense argues that multiple DNA profiles complicate the case. Robinson allegedly targeted Kirk due to his perceived hatred.
