## Summary

A Utah judge has set June 2028 for the trial of Tyler Robinson, who is accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk in September 2025. Robinson has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and six other charges; the case could carry the death penalty and has drawn sustained attention from Kirk’s family.

Jury selection is due to begin on 21 June 2028. Prosecutors estimate the trial may last 17 weeks, while the defence says it could take seven months and sought more time to prepare. Prosecutors cite DNA, video and alleged admissions as evidence, while the defence disputes aspects of the case and is seeking to prevent a death sentence and ban courtroom cameras.
