(UTAH) — Fourteen months after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we may find out Monday when his accused murderer, Tyler Robinson, will stand trial. The state wants a January 31, 2028 start date. Prosecutors say they could be ready by next October but asked the court to schedule the trial after the holidays to accommodate potential jurors.
Robinson’s defense team says it needs at least until July of 2029 to prepare for a death penalty trial. Attorneys for Erika Kirk called that timeline “grossly out of line with comparable cases” and asked Judge Tony Graf to set the trial no later than October 4, 2027.
