Executive Briefing
According to reporting by CBS News US Politics, Tyler Robinson, 23, is set to stand trial on a charge of aggravated murder, which could see him face the death penalty
Detailed Factual Report
Tyler Robinson , the man accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk , is set to stand trial beginning June 21, 2028, a Utah judge announced on Monday.
Attorneys for Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk , last month asked the court for a speedy trial no later than Oct. 4, 2027, while Robinson's representatives requested that the trial take place in the third quarter of 2029, citing massive amounts of discovery. Prosecutors proposed the trial begin in January 2028, rather than hold the proceedings during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
The court has allotted 105 court days for the trial, with monthly pretrial status conferences going forward to "protect the constitutional rights at stake."
A hearing is also scheduled for April 11, 2028, during which the court will decide whether attorneys for both sides can complete the essential work before jury selection. Jury questionnaires are due May 3, 2028.
