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.
