Ballistics dispute slows Kirk murder case in Utah
TL;DR Summary

Prosecutors say there is enough evidence to proceed to trial and plan to seek the death penalty, noting DNA on the trigger, firing casing and two unfired rounds. Robinson has not entered a plea, and an April 17 hearing will consider a defense motion to ban cameras from the courtroom.
