Bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk did NOT match rifle allegedly used by suspect Tyler Robinson, new court filing claims [View all]

From The Daily Mail but likely to be true.

The bullet that killed conservative commentator Charlie Kirk did not match the rifle used by suspected killer Tyler Robinson, a bombshell new court filing states.

snip

... His defense attorneys now argue that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives 'was unable to identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr Robinson.'

The defense team may now offer the ATF firearm analyst's testimony as exculpatory evidence, they said in a motion filed on Friday to push the preliminary hearing back at least six months, Fox News reports.

It also notes that DNA reports filed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and ATF will take time for the defense team to analyze because reports indicated that several different DNA were found on some items of evidence.

Checking satellites for evidence of a grassy knoll.

No link at the Daily Mail to more, but others may. MSN syndicated the story.

Edit to add. I did not intend to promote conspiracy theories, only to say REPUBLICANS IN DISARRAY.
Let them tear each other apart (verbally, of course.)

I looked for independent sources. So far, everyone is just copying the DailyMail, so Caveat Reader.
A search for corroboration!! Unfortunately, it has only been found so far at.
• Hindustan Times
• EndTimeHeadlines
• https://the.democraticunderground.org/100221135837 (so DU has another name? )
• FreeRepubic FREEPERS (this is interesting) Little did I know, they are HQ in Fresno. Yuck.,

I put the discussion so far up on pastebin, so you don't have to go there.
