BREAKING: Utah prosecutors ask for Jan 2028 trial date for Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson -- defense wants to delay until 2029

Utah prosecutors and the defense in the Tyler Robinson case have put competing trial start dates on the table for the man charged with killing Charlie Kirk. The state is asking for a January 31, 2028, trial start date, while the defense wants the proceedings delayed until the third quarter of 2029. If the defense position is accepted, Robinson’s trial would begin roughly four years after Kirk was killed at Utah Valley University. Judge Tony Graf will decide the schedule during a Friday hearing. The exact outcome will depend on arguments presented at that court session.
