A Utah judge has scheduled the murder trial of Tyler Robinson, the man charged in the killing of Charlie Kirk, for July 2028, Just the News reported.
District Judge Tony Graf set jury selection to begin in June 2028, with the trial expected to last 105 court days.
The date falls between the two that had been proposed.
According to CNN, as cited by Just the News, Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, had asked for a trial in 2027, while Robinson’s defense team sought 2029.
Kirk was shot on September 10, 2025, while speaking at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University.
Robinson is charged with aggravated murder and has not entered a plea.
The ruling comes roughly two months after Graf allowed the case to proceed, finding that prosecutors had met the standard required at the preliminary stage.
At that September hearing, the defense argued the evidence fell short and that a single shot with a single victim meant no one else had been put in danger. Prosecutors countered that Robinson’s actions threatened the lives of others at the rally. If the schedule holds, the trial will open nearly three years after the shooting.
