US EditionCharlie Kirk's widow calls for an end to "undue delay" in murder case
Erika Kirk invokes Utah victims' rights to prevent defense delays citing conflict of interest claims, seeking prompt trial resolution in her husband's murder case.
- On Friday, Erika Kirk filed for a speedy trial in Utah's Fourth District Court, invoking her rights as a victim under Utah law while Jeffrey Neiman accused Tyler Robinson's defense of causing "undue" and "unwarranted" delay.
- The defense's motion cites a county attorney deputy whose adult child was in the crowd when Kirk was shot on Sept. 10, 2025, delaying proceedings with a second hearing scheduled.
- At Utah Valley University, prosecutors say Tyler Robinson shot Charlie Kirk in the neck during a Turning Point USA event, drawing national attention with President Donald Trump attending Kirk's memorial.
- Neiman wrote that defendants lack the right 'to cause undue delay,' citing Utah law, while Evershed said the notice will 'likely cause some urgency' and Kirk remains in court.
- Robinson is due back in court on February 3 with a second hearing still pending, and Kirk's high-profile case risks prolonging public attention and affecting public confidence in the justice process.
