Candace Owens is pushing claims that the official account of Charlie Kirk's killing does not hold together, and if any of it sticks it is bad news for the FBI, prosecutors, and Turning Point USA.

• The core claim: the wound and the video of the shooting do not match a shot from a high-powered hunting rifle at that distance.
• Footage she was shown privately suggested the bullet did not pass through Kirk's neck, contradicting what she was told by people close to Turning Point USA that day.
• The rifle story is called absurd — a disassembled rifle reassembled on a roof would need its scope re-sighted to hit anything.
• At the preliminary hearing, the surveillance image of Tyler Robinson shown in court appears stretched and degraded compared with the original, and clearer footage was never released.
• Robinson's boyfriend, Lance Twiggs, testified he never heard Robinson talk about Charlie Kirk or LGBTQ issues — yet was granted immunity to testify, and the confession texts remain unverified by the defense.

Outlook: Expect the fight over evidence and discovery to intensify as the case moves toward trial, with the manipulated courtroom image and the unverified text messages the most likely flashpoints.
