Tyler Robinson: Accused Charlie Kirk assassin to stand trial in 2028
Tyler Robinson, the man accused in the 2025 murder of activist Charlie Kirk, was back in a Utah courtroom Monday where a judge set June 21, 2028, as the start of jury selection in his murder trial.Robinson's lawyers expect the trial to last six to seven months and initially proposed a tentative trial start date in the third quarter of 2029, saying that setting a firm date could create "false precision" and jeopardize their client's constitutional rights.
In a new court filing obtained by Fox News, Kirk’s widow called the defense’s timeline "grossly out of line" and asked the court to schedule the trial at the earliest practicable date in 2027, citing the emotional toll on the Kirk family and a report that the defense had already cost taxpayers approximately $1.6 million in just its first year.
Prosecutors sought a date of Jan. 31, 2028, to start what their scheduling memo suggests will be a 17-week trial.
Robinson is facing seven charges, including aggravated murder, in connection with Kirk's death in September 2025. Prosecutors say Robinson was responsible for the killing, while defense attorneys have continued to challenge aspects of the state's case.
Graf will have the option to send the case to trial on a lesser charge of murder, which carries a minimum sentence of 15 years and a maximum of life in prison. However, the aggravated murder charge makes Robinson eligible for the death penalty, which was added because of the risk of death to others created from the shooting, prosecutors say.
Robinson, 23, has pleaded not guilty to seven counts that he shot Kirk while he was speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem.
Graf said his decision to approve the aggravated murder charge was based on the positions of several people in and around a tent where Kirk was speaking, among other factors.
Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani joins LiveNOW's Andy Mac to discuss.
