A Utah judge has officially set a trial date for Tyler Robinson, the 23-year-old man accused of assassinating conservative commentator and Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk. During a hearing in a Provo, Utah courtroom on Monday, Judge Tony Graf scheduled jury selection to begin on June 21, 2028. Robinson is alleged to have fatally shot Kirk in the neck during a speaking event at Utah Valley University (UVU) in September 2025. [snip] Robinson’s attorneys argued for delaying a trial until 2029, citing the extensive time needed to prepare a capital defense. However prosecutors — who estimated that the trial would last 17 weeks — indicated they would be prepared to go to trial as early as October of next year, though they suggested a January 2028 start date to avoid holiday interruptions. [snip] Robinson, who has pleaded not guilty, is charged with seven counts related to Kirk’s death, including aggravated murder — a charge that, if convicted, puts the death penalty on the table.
