The Prosecutor's Contempt Ruling and the Bullet Debate

At 1:57:40 · chapter starts 1:48:20

Megyn Kelly brings the panel back to the contempt ruling against the Tyler Robinson prosecutor, who was sanctioned not for correcting the Daily Mail's misleading 'bullet didn't match' headline but for then going to TMZ to declare the prosecution has 'overwhelming evidence' — a violation of the court's gag order. Geragos and Murphy debate whether the sanction was proportionate (Murphy thinks it wasn't; Geragos sees it as standard). The conversation then pivots to the most contested physical evidence in the case: Rob O'Neill, a former Navy SEAL sniper who killed Osama bin Laden, has publicly said the wound he saw on Charlie Kirk's video did not look like an entry wound from a .30-06. Murphy flatly disagrees, explaining that the bullet heavily fragmented, was recovered entirely inside Kirk's body, and that bullets frequently behave unpredictably upon striking bone. Viva Frei adds that the age and condition of the antique Mauser's ammunition could mean the round was tumbling before impact, which would further alter its behavior. The panel agrees that conspiracy theories premised on exit wounds fail to account for the physics of fragmented rounds.
