I have read somewhere that the whole "bullet forensics" process is mostly pseudoscience anyway. A quick search found this article:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-field-of-firearms-forensics-is-flawed/

If a shell casing wasn't ejected on the scene (like with a bolt-action not cycled) then all they would have to analyze is the what's-left-of-bullet which is possibly just a mess of lead and copper. May or may not have rifling marks left on it

Charlie Kirk’s killing was an inside job. Where was Erika? Where was Trump? Where are the Epstein files?

This is a nothing statement. It just means that they can't definitively prove what rifle fired the bullet. It's something that happens all the time, and there's plenty of other evidence for them to convinct. Plus that motherfucker is still worm food, so it doesn't really matter anyway.

DJ Trump did Kirk 11.

A disturbing number of people seem to be reading this as:

"The bullet does not match the gun." i.e. that there is 'proof' that the bullet didn't come from his gun

Instead of

"They can't say if it is or is not from the gun due to being a small fragment and not an entire bullet"

It probably doesn't help that there are a bunch of communities/subreddits who've editorialized the headlines to say 'bullet does not match gun' and the tendency of people to only read the headline.

His neck just did that.

If you’re going to report on bullet analysis, you need to also report on the evolution of the science. Which is to say, the way we understand bullet analysis from a show like CSI or something is incorrect. Bullets simply can’t be linked to firearms like fingerprints can be linked to people.

The way I understand the science is that bullet analysis tells us if a bullet is from a family of guns, not a specific gun like it was used in the past. Bullet analysis and be used to rule out a weapon, not to directly tie one to a crime. This article doesn’t tell us the gun was eliminated like it suggests.

I thought Charlie's medical found lethal doses of fentanyl in his system.

Bullet tracing is mostly a TV fiction. This headline is just the natural state of things.

So when do we get the evidence that this kid wasn't involved, and is an AIPAC plant?

Can't wait for the 2nd shooter theories. Didn't Kirk's head jerk back, and to the left?

Every high profile murder that happens from now on will be conspiracy-theoried to death. Articles like this fuel it. I think it often makes sense to doubt the story we're told. But many Lemmy users for example, are not "doubting". They "know" what happened.

erika grifting kirk already forgiven tyler.

It was spontaneously created by the Almighty. You didn't need proof of the bullet's firing. You just need strong enough belief. If God came down and snatched the bullet from Trump's ear, he also placed this one.

Must of been a second shooter on the grassy knoll.

This story stinks, totally impossible story by the fbi on three counts at least. No shit they didn't release the ballistics results, because that rifle would've made a very different more dramatic wound than whatever hit kirk.

Bullet analysis is circumstantial and pseudosciencey anyway so the fact they couldn't get that in their favor is kind of weird.

Turns out face enlargement surgery has serious side effects.

Who cares? Fuck kirk and his wife wife. And JD vance that fucks her and her sofa.

Almost makes you think Charlie tried to pull a Trump but rolled a critical fail.

This is NOT Proof of anything at All!
