A Utah judge scheduled a murder trial for July 2028 for Tyler Robinson, 23, who is charged with fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk in September 2025.
Utah District Court Judge Tony Graf issued the ruling on November 9, 2026, according to The Guardian. Jury selection is set to begin on June 21, 2028, with the full trial to be held in Provo, Utah.
Both sides had sought different timelines. Robinson's attorneys asked for a January 2029 start date, while Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's widow, sought a trial as early as October 2027, The Guardian reported. Judge Graf's decision landed between the two positions.
Kirk was a far-right pundit and conservative activist, NBC News noted.
