Did they recover the bullet that hit Kirk?

The bullet was lodged in the bone of the outer spine in his neck just below the skin.
Got a link for that?

I did read something to that effect on ARFCOM but it morphed into an 8-page conspiracy theory blogger pile of shit. I never did see a plausible link.
 
This is worth the watch...

Look, BC, let me try to make this clear one last time:
  1. They have the killer, he confessed.
  2. They've matched the DNA of the killer to DNA on the rifle.
  3. The round struck Kirk in the throat, damaged the trachea, penetrated the thyroid, sternocleidomastoid, destroyed the carotid and damaged the jugular finally lodging in the outer spinal cord after going through other sundry nerve and muscle tissue.
  4. Undoubtedly, some of the impact was dissipated by hydrodynamic shock and movement of the upper torso and neck upon hitting the spine, but as to the caliber, was it really a 30-06? That is the question.

No, but a preliminary report was leaked days ago along with an xray of Kirk's neck showing the final resting place of the bullet at the C4. It was not intended for public consumption. Frankly, I had not intended to (at least publicly) bringing the matter up nor discussing it for obvious reasons.

They said the weapon was a Mauser .30-06.

I hope they've got this right. Robinson could have been another decoy.

Well, I will wait until they officially announce the recovered bullet fits the forensics of the rifle pattern and gauge of the rifle found, but the x-ray released by pathology shows a slug found in near the spine.

So I have to assume that it was a 30-06 that arrived there by some peculiar combination of factors: hydrostatic dissipation, rebound of the body, and maybe it deflected from the spinal bone and changed direction hitting other things 1-2 times before coming to rest near his C4, or they are mistaken about the gauge, or, the rifle was gauged differently than they thought, or, the bullet killing Kirk did not come from the rifle found and believed.

For the day he was shot, I said right away, the bullet did not exit the back of him, as obviously, there was a big white tarp stretched behind him, and it would have been covered red with blood and tissue had the bullet exited his back.

They say...........Have you seen the tv court appearance of him with his arraignment? It looks like he just figured out he has been played.
 
Charlie was wearing a bullet proof vest. The bullet hit the vest, took most of the impact and the bullet ricocheted upwards and hit his neck. There are videos on Youtube of this in slow motion.

It's a matter of faith in yoo toob isn't it, and the nice people mansplaining it to you. Watch out for the rush to judgement before all the facts (if any) are revealed. Erika Kirk reveals she urged Charlie to wear bulletproof vest before he was shot

That would make more sense. I would think that a direct hit in the spine with a .30-06 would have practically decapitated him.
 
We are now asked to believe that the bullet from a 30-06 was stopped by his neck, a miracle in itself. Magic. Bullet. A magic..bullet. Charlie Kirk ally reveals 'absolute miracle' that may have saved lives during fatal shooting
It's plausible. Anyone who has killed a lot of deer over their lifetime has seen the weird results of spine shots.

I pulled this one out of a big buck I shot in the lower neck, it ended up just under the skin way up on the neck. It's recovery was so unusual is the reason I saved it.

.308 150 gr Federal Light Magnum....It's also a reason I went away from that round. Note the jacket had completely separated from the lead.....I found bits of the jacket in the wound channel.

I went to Federal Premium with the 150gr Nosler Partition bullet after that because I had been noticing jacket separation. Through and through wounds but I'd find the jacket somewhere.
 
I've not heard one way or the other. :dunno:

I know they have the rifle/casing (the rifle was recovered with the spent casing still in the chamber) but did the bullet head to parts unknown or was it recovered? Today's hunting bullets hold up pretty well, even with a spine hit.

Not that it really matters, just curious......Given all of the other evidence that has been collected thus far, that would just be adding gravy; the meal has already been prepared.

15th post
That's the post that got everything going on ARFCOM.....Again....Plausible, but folks want to hear it from an expert, not a friend.

Too soon maybe. :dunno:
Press conference question was asked and the answer was yes. I forget who was asked.
 
Wow, they were probably written by the same cop that wrote Robinson's "note" under his keypad. :auiqs.jpg:

You don't "write" x-rays, and the autopsy is consistent with the evidence and known facts. You should probably just STHU and stick to mocking things you at least know something about.

You mean like JFK's autopsy? LOL. For the gullible like yourself, "evidence and known facts" are what somebody writes about after being paid to write it a certain way. I suppose you consider the text exchanges between Robinson and friend to be evidence and known facts, a sure sign of the gullible mind set.
