A Utah judge is expected to set a trial date in Charlie Kirk’s killing

The judge may set deadlines as prosecutors seek a 17-week trial and the defense asks for 2029 amid disputes over discovery and media coverage.

  • Fourth District Judge Tony Graf is expected to establish a trial timeline today in Provo, Utah, for Tyler Robinson, who is accused of killing Charlie Kirk.
  • Robinson, 23, faces seven charges, including aggravated murder, for the September 10, 2025, shooting of Kirk at Utah Valley University; prosecutors allege Robinson targeted the Turning Point USA co-founder for political beliefs.
  • Defense attorney Staci Visser requested a provisional 2029 trial start, citing the need to review about 31,000 discovery documents and eight million digital artifacts; the team is about 25 per cent through the work.
  • The Utah County Attorney's Office proposed a 17-week trial beginning January 31, 2028, while Erika Kirk urged a 2027 start. President Donald Trump criticized Graf for "taking forever" to resolve the case.
  • Defense lawyers asked Graf to exclude electronic media from Monday's hearing, arguing broadcasting remarks could take them out of context; media organizations challenged the request, asserting the public deserves an unfiltered record.
