Tyler Robinson's trial for the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk will not begin until at least 2028, RadarOnline.com can report.
Jury selection for the popular podcaster's accused killer is set to begin on June 21, 2028, with the trial expected to start on July 31, 2028.
Jury selection is set to begin in June 2028.
Robinson's attorneys had asked for a trial starting in 2029. But Utah District Court Judge Tony Graf faced pressure from Kirk's family and supporters, not to mention President Trump, to start the trial as soon as possible.
That apparently would not be possible for at least another year and a half.
It's already been more than a year since Kirk was gunned down while talking with college students on the campus of Utah Valley University.
Robinson, 23, has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder in the killing of Kirk, 31, as the activist spoke to several thousand people at the university on Sept. 10, 2025.
The defendant turned himself in a day after the shooting. His lawyers have not offered alternative theories for Kirk's death.
