Defense Cites Inconclusive Forensics
Robinson's defense filed to delay the hearing.
“Tyler Robinson’s defense team said an analysis from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives could not conclusively connect a bullet fragment”
An ATF analysis could not conclusively link the bullet to the rifle.
The FBI is conducting additional tests.
Defensive Strategy
The defense may offer the ATF analyst's testimony as exculpatory evidence.
Prosecutors said DNA consistent with Robinson was found on the trigger.
Defense noted multiple people's DNA was present on some items.
Public Doubts and Political Ramifications
Candace Owens publicly doubted Robinson's guilt.
“Owens said she is 99.9% sure that Tyler Robinson was not the gunman”
She cited the bullet mismatch as a key forensic detail.
The debate has fueled conspiracy theories.
Continued Legal Battles
Robinson is due back in court on April 17.
The defense has filed a motion to ban cameras.
They argue political rhetoric should limit courtroom access.
