Tyler Robinson, the man accused of shooting and killing Charlie Kirk during a Turning Point USA event on a Utah university campus, is scheduled to stand trial for the conservative activist’s murder in the summer of 2028, a Utah judge said Monday.
Jury selection will begin on June 21, 2028, Judge Tony Graf said.
The judge’s decision comes after an October hearing where he heard arguments over the parties’ proposed trial timelines: Ahead of that hearing, Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, lambasted the defense request for jury selection to start in the second half of 2029, calling it “grossly out of line” and calling for the trial to be set for 2027. Prosecutors had asked for a January 2028 trial start.
