- Robinson is accused of killing Charlie Kirk in September 2025.

## Summary

Judge Tony Graf Jr is due to announce his ruling on when Tyler Robinson’s trial will begin in the killing of Charlie Kirk. The decision will set the timetable for a case in which prosecutors and defence lawyers differ by nearly two years over when they can be ready.

Prosecutors want a trial on 31 January 2028, though they say they could be ready by October 2027; Robinson’s lawyers have suggested late 2029, citing the volume of evidence to review. Both sides say a trial interrupted by the Christmas holidays could cause difficulties, and the prosecution’s preferred date conflicts with another case involving a defence lawyer. Robinson, 22, is accused of shooting Kirk, 31, at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on 10 September 2025; he did not enter a plea until the previous month.
