Lawyers for Tyler Robinson, accused of the aggravated murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, have requested a delay in a preliminary hearing scheduled for May. The defense team cites the need to review extensive evidence, including an inconclusive bullet analysis from the United States — Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which could not definitively link a bullet fragment from Charlie Kirk's autopsy to a rifle found near the scene. The United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation is conducting further tests. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Tyler Robinson, who allegedly targeted Charlie Kirk due to 'hatred.' DNA consistent with Tyler Robinson's was found on the rifle's trigger and casings, though defense attorneys note other DNA was also present. The shooting occurred on September 10 at Utah Valley University.
