A Utah judge has finally set a trial date for Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk in the fall of 2025, but justice will not come quickly.
The trial is set to begin in June – of 2028. Almost two years from now.
The Kirk family is not happy about this and who can blame them? Erika Kirk put out this message on Twitter/X:
STATEMENT FROM THE KIRK FAMILY:
Today’s decision to delay the trial of the man accused of murdering our beloved Charlie until at least June 2028, is deeply disappointing. While nothing will restore the time we have lost with Charlie, every additional day without justice prolongs our family’s pain and forces us to wait even longer for accountability.
As we continue down this difficult road, we remain deeply grateful for the love, prayers, and support that have sustained our family through these painful months.

From CBS News:
Charlie Kirk’s accused killer set to stand trial for aggravated murder in June 2028
Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk, is set to stand trial beginning June 21, 2028, a Utah judge announced on Monday.
Attorneys for Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, last month asked the court for a speedy trial no later than Oct. 4, 2027, while Robinson’s representatives requested that the trial take place in the third quarter of 2029, citing massive amounts of discovery. Prosecutors proposed the trial begin in January 2028, rather than hold the proceedings during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
Judge Tony Graf on Monday set a date between the three parties’ requests.
Kirk’s family called the decision “deeply disappointing.”…
The court has allotted 105 court days for the trial, with monthly pretrial status conferences going forward to “protect the constitutional rights at stake.”
A hearing is also scheduled for April 11, 2028, during which the court will decide whether attorneys for both sides can complete the essential work before jury selection. Jury questionnaires are due May 3, 2028.
This is going to land the trial right in the middle of the 2028 election.
Was that the purpose of this trial date or is it just a coincidence?
