71. The body of the article itself refutes the title of the OP

Tue Mar 31, 2026, 07:45 PM

Tuesday

The text of the article does not say that the bullet doesn’t match the rifle. It says they have been unable to match it which is different. The bullet may be so damaged as to prevent it being matched to any gun

Edit: I did find this Forbes article

“Federal firearms experts haven’t been able to conclusively match bullet fragments from the killing of Charlie Kirk to the rifle found at the scene of his murder, court documents indicate—but there’s also no evidence to suggest it’s not a match, despite online conspiracy theorists misusing the information to fuel wild theories about the murder.“

If true, the defense is going to have a very hard time convincing a jury that the bullet fragments did not come from the rifle in question especially when taking in all the other evidence against the accused.
