Trial of Tyler Robinson in Charlie Kirk killing set to begin in June 2028

The trial of Tyler Robinson, who is suspected of murdering right-wing debater Charlie Kirk, will begin in the summer of 2028, a Utah judge announced on Monday.

According to Judge Tony Graf, jury selection will begin on June 21, 2028, CNN reports.

During preliminary hearings held earlier this year, Robinson's defense attorneys tried to prevent a trial or, at least, remove the possibility of the death penalty, arguing that prosecutors had not proved that the shooting of Kirk endangered the lives of people nearby.

But the court ruled that there should be a trial and that the suspect faces the death penalty.

Tyler Robinson, 23, has consistently denied the crime.

Charlie Kirk, 31, was shot and killed while speaking to a large crowd at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.
