Utah County judge Tony Graf Jr. has scheduled the trial of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of murdering conservative activist Charlie Kirk in September 2025, to commence on June 21, 2028. Robinson, aged 23, pleaded not guilty to charges including aggravated murder and is facing potential execution if found guilty. The prosecution anticipates the trial will last 17 weeks, while defense lawyers have suggested it could take seven months. Kirk's widow, Erika, and his parents, Robert and Kathryn, have attended numerous court hearings in the case. During a preliminary hearing in July, the prosecutor presented DNA evidence, confessions, and video statements as proof of Robinson's involvement, while defense attorneys have raised concerns about the credibility of evidence and expert witnesses.
