KUALA LUMPUR: A 28-year-old Malaysian driver was charged with murder on Wednesday (Apr 1) for a crash that killed a motorcyclist reportedly on his way to buy a textbook for his son in Klang, Selangor on Sunday.

If convicted under section 302 of the Penal Code, he faces the death penalty, or a jail …

Bullet Used in Charlie Kirk Murder Doesn’t Match The Alleged Weapon, Defense Claims

Bullet Used in Charlie Kirk Murder Doesn’t Match The Alleged Weapon, Defense Claims

Published by Jenni Sidey

There’s a new wrinkle in the case against Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old charged with assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Defense attorneys revealed last week that federal ballistic analysis cannot link the bullet that killed Kirk to the rifle prosecutors say Robinson used. Robinson faces charges of aggravated murder, along with multiple felony counts, for the September 10, 2025, killing of Kirk at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. The case seemed, from the outside, fairly straightforward: Robinson reportedly confessed to his father, who told a youth pastor with ties to the U.S. Marshals Service, and Robinson himself surrendered to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office the following night.  Prosecutors say DNA consistent with Robinson’s was recovered from the trigger, the fired cartridge casing, and two unfired cartridges on the rifle found near the scene. However, in a motion filed Friday, Robinson’s attorneys disclosed that they had received an ATF summary report with an unexpected finding. “Regarding the firearm evidence, the defense has been provided with an ATF summary report which …
