A Utah judge sets a summer 2028 trial date for Tyler Robinson, the man accused of fatally shooting conservative commentator Charlie Kirk in September 2025. The court schedules jury selection to begin on June 21, 2028, with the judge planning a pretrial timeline that leaves the case in court for 105 days.
All outlets describe the same core ruling by Fourth District Court Judge Tony Graf Jr., including the scale of jury logistics: officials expect thousands of potential jurors to be contacted in advance. Multiple reports say the judge rejects defense efforts to push the start date into 2029, while prosecutors and Kirk’s representatives had sought a faster timetable.
Coverage differs mainly in emphasis. Some outlets foreground the family’s reaction to the delay and characterise it as nearly three years after Kirk’s death. Others focus more on procedural details—such as the number of court days allotted and the anticipated juror pool—while a few also mention the possibility of the death penalty if convicted.
