A Utah judge set a June 2028 trial date for Tyler Robinson in the Charlie Kirk killing.
Judge Tony Graf set jury selection to begin June 21, 2028, with 105 court days reserved for the trial of Tyler Robinson, who is accused of killing Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. Robinson has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and other charges and could face the death penalty. The date falls between prosecutors' request for January 2028 and the defense's request for late 2029, and Kirk's family criticized the delay.
