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.
