The Engraved Bullets Found in Charlie Kirk's Assassination Case
Showing 4 Bullet Engravings videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
Prosecutors presented cartridges recovered from the rifle used to kill Charlie Kirk bearing engraved messages, including phrases referencing internet meme culture and antifascist slogans, evidence introduced during the fourth day of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing alongside DNA testimony described as making Robinson's presence on the weapon and ammunition roughly a trillion times more likely than any random individual. Robinson's roommate and romantic partner, Lance Twiggs, testified that Robinson confessed directly to the shooting, telling him he wished he hadn't done it, testimony delivered alongside text messages in which Robinson discussed retrieving and hiding the rifle before ultimately turning himself in. Separate forensic commentary has raised the question of whether the physical process of engraving the casings could have introduced defects affecting the round's velocity or trajectory, offered as one possible explanation for why the bullet was recovered beneath Kirk's skin rather than exiting his body. The hearing's defense attorney drew separate criticism for his treatment of Erika Kirk during arguments over video evidence transparency.
