Utah judge sets timeline for trial of Tyler Robinson, accused of fatally shooting the far-right activist in September 2025

Tyler Robinson, the 23-year-old man accused of killing the far-right pundit and activist Charlie Kirk, will stand trial for murder in early July 2028, a Utah district judge ruled on Monday.

Judge Tony Graf said the trial will remain in Provo, Utah, and jury selection would begin on 21 June 2028. Attorneys for Robinson had asked to start the trial in January 2029 while Erika Kirk, Charlie’s widow, had pushed for an October 2027 date.
