Attorneys for accused Charlie Kirk assassin file to delay key hearing following inconclusive ballistics report

Attorneys for Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk, filed a motion Friday to postpone a key preliminary hearing scheduled for May. The defense argues they need more time to review evidence, specifically a federal bullet analysis that failed to link the bullet that killed Kirk to the weapon found near the scene.

The motion, filed March 27, contained a summary report from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) saying they couldn't conclusively connect a bullet fragment recovered during an autopsy to the rifle found near the scene, according to reports by CBS.
