Judge Weighs 2027-2029 Trial Window for Tyler Robinson in Charlie Kirk Killing
3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 9
Summary
Monday’s hearing in Provo is set to determine when Tyler Robinson, 22, will stand trial in the Sept. 10, 2025 killing of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University.
Prosecutors want a Jan. 31, 2028 start and say they could be ready by October 2027, while Robinson’s lawyers call that unrealistic and have floated late 2029 because of the volume of discovery.
Judge Tony Graf Jr. is also balancing scheduling conflicts, including a federal racketeering case for defense lawyer Richard Novak in January 2028, and both sides oppose a holiday-interrupted trial.
The slow pace has drawn outside pressure: Donald Trump said the case should be tried within a month, while Kirk family attorney Jeffrey Neiman urged the court to set a date, arguing delay is denying justice.
