Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin to face trial in June 2028
Tyler Robinson, 23, faces a potential death penalty if found guilty of killing the conservative firebrand.
On September 10, 2025, US conservative activist Charlie Kirk was killed in Utah. Kirk, a prominent figure in the Christian Nationalist movement, was assassinated at a Turning Point event. The killing sent shockwaves through the US political landscape.
Tyler Robinson, 23, has been accused of murdering Kirk with a gunshot to the neck. Robinson faces a potential death penalty for the crime. Jury selection is set to begin on June 21, 2028, with the trial scheduled to commence in June 2028.
The prosecution has requested a trial in January 2028, while Robinson's defense attorneys have sought to delay proceedings until the end of 2029. Trump criticized the judge last month, expressing his desire to see the case concluded within a month rather than three years.
Robinson has pleaded not guilty to the allegations. The prosecution has presented text messages allegedly showing Robinson confessing to planning the murder to a transgender roommate. The defense has disputed the strength of DNA and ballistic evidence presented by the prosecution.
