The effort to bring federal charges has been met with resistance by some career prosecutors who argue the crime doesn’t appear to fall under any federal statutes.
Three months after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the Justice Department is weighing how to bring federal charges against the shooter, including under a novel legal theory that it was an anti-Christian hate crime, according to three people familiar with the investigation.
The suspect, Tyler Robinson, is already facing multiple state charges, including an aggravated murder count, and Utah prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty. Robinson’s partner is trans, and authorities have produced text messages from the suspect to his partner saying he was motivated to kill Kirk because he had “enough of his hatred.”
It’s not uncommon for defendants to face both state and federal charges, including for drug-related crimes and domestic terrorist attacks, among other offenses. But the effort to bring federal charges in the Kirk case has been met with resistance by some career prosecutors who have argued that the crime doesn’t appear to fall under any federal statutes, the three people said.
That’d more likely be the Copts.
Well yeah that’s fair. They were the first mainstream christians but yeah I learned the other day that the og Christians was actually ran by women. And then a king saw people were into it, appropriated it to control them through it. Got rid of all the women and made it so they couldn’t be in positions of power.
I never knew it was a women driven religion. But honestly it makes sense cause women are historically invested more in charity. And that was Jesus’s whole thing.
Be nice. Share what you have. Don’t be greedy.
