Reuters reported that June 21, 2028, is the jury selection date chosen by Utah District Court Judge Tony Graf in the case against Tyler Robinson over Charlie Kirk’s killing, after both sides proposed different timelines.
Robinson, 23, entered not-guilty pleas on seven counts, one of them aggravated murder. Prosecutors accuse him of killing Kirk during a debate at Utah Valley University in Orem. Kirk was an ally of President Donald Trump, Reuters reported.
Robinson’s lawyers sought a late 2029 start, saying they needed more time for pretrial work on venue and the death penalty request, along with gathering evidence, Reuters reported. Prosecutors proposed Jan. 31, 2028, as the start date. The trial-length estimates also diverged: prosecutors projected 17 weeks, while the defense estimated six to seven months, Reuters reported.
In a separate filing, Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk’s widow, requested a 2027 start, citing the toll of a prolonged legal process, Reuters reported.
