In this episode, retired FBI executive Katherine Schweit — former head of the Bureau’s Active Shooter Program — brings you the latest on the Charlie Kirk assassination case following the Utah County prosecutor’s first press conference.
Katherine breaks down:
-
Why the case was filed at the state level as an “information” rather than a federal indictment
-
The seven charges now filed, including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child
-
The aggravating factors that could increase sentencing: children present at the shooting and targeting political expression
-
How text messages and a handwritten note became central evidence
-
What the prosecutor’s decision to seek the death penalty means for the long road ahead
As always, Katherine takes the heat out of the headlines and focuses on the facts.
