Ballistics dispute slows Kirk murder case in Utah
Lawyers for Tyler Robinson, charged with the Sept. 10 killing of Charlie Kirk on the Utah Valley University campus, asked to delay the May preliminary hearing to review a flood of evidence, including an ATF ballistics analysis defense attorneys say cannot conclusively link a bullet fragment to the rifle found at the scene; the FBI is conducting additional tests. 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.
