Just read the ATF report and it doesn’t even specify that “fragments” were from Charlie Kirk’s body. They concluded the Remington shell casings match the Remington casings found at the scene as well as the ones with engravings on them. They also tested the “murder weapon” to make sure it could shoot. So now they have committed to the brand of round being Remington. This means that the frangible round theory that would be the only possible way there wouldn’t be a massive exit wound is now off the table. Whoops! @RealCandaceO @baroncoleman













The ATF Report in Tyler Robinson's case is now available. It's clearly a summary report that doesn't provide great detail but it does have new information: 1 bullet jacket fragment and 4 lead fragments were recovered during Charlie's autopsy, The jacket is identified as coming from a .30 caliber class bullet. The jacket fragment shared class characteristics with Tyler Robinson's Mauser 98 rifle, so the rifle couldn't be excluded as having fired the bullet. But the fragment lacks individual characteristics permitting identification of one rifle to the exclusion of all others in the class. The engravings on the cartridge casings are consistent with a rotary tool like a Dremel. According to the motion, the State now wants to conduct Virtual Comparison Microscopy (VCM) on the jacket casing, a new technology in which the item is 3D scanned and virtually compared to a test fire. This might require the analyst to "unfold" deformed portions of the jacket, which could leave marks from the tool used to unfold the material. It could also potentially affect the structural integrity of the jacket fragment; an FBI analyst who received the fragment from the ATF noted that part of the jacket fragment has become detached in the packaging. The State also wants to do "metallurgical" testing of a lead fragment, the precise nature of which is unspecified. The defense filed the January 9th motion after they requested to be able to photograph the jacket casing in its current state and to attend or photograph any future testing, and its requests were denied. The motion is requesting that testing not be allowed to proceed without these conditions in place to protect the defense's ability to evaluate the testing.
