Prosecutors say bullet engraving shows Charlie Kirk was targeted for his politics

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Prosecutors in Charlie Kirk’s killing have pointed to an engraved bullet in arguing that Kirk was targeted for how the defendant perceived his politics. The inscription “Hey Facist! CATCH!” was found on a bullet inside a rifle linked by DNA to defendant Tyler Robinson. The prosecution and defense have filed dueling documents focused on whether the crime included aggravating factors like political targeting that would make Robinson eligible for the death penalty if convicted. Robinson is charged including aggravated murder in the Sept. 10 shooting and has not yet entered a plea. Judge Tony Graf will decide if the case advances to trial after a Sept. 1 hearing.
