Charlie Kirk's Accused Assassin's Lawyers Question Link Between Bullet From Autopsy and Rifle Found Near Scene

  • Tyler Robinson is accused of murdering conservative activist Charlie Kirk in September and faces aggravated murder charges with prosecutors seeking the death penalty.

  • Robinson has not entered a plea, and a hearing on a defense motion regarding courtroom media access is scheduled for April 17, with the presiding judge yet to decide on the request for a hearing delay.
