A Utah judge on Monday set the murder trial for Tyler Robinson, who allegedly assassinated Charlie Kirk last year, for July 2028, nearly three years after Kirk's death.

District Judge Tony Graf said jury selection will begin in June 2028, with the trial beginning in July. 

The trial is expected to last 105 court days. The date comes after Kirk's widow Erika Kirk sought a 2027 trial date, while defense sought a 2029 date, according to CNN. 

The date comes two months after the judge agreed to let the case move forward after he determined that the prosecution made its case at the preliminary level. 

Kirk was killed in a shooting at a Turning Point USA rally at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025, and Robinson has been charged with aggravated murder. He has not entered a plea.

Robinson's defense attorneys argued in September that the evidence was lacking and prosecutors claimed that Robinson's actions threatened the lives of attendees. Defense attorneys also argued that because there was just a single shot and a single victim, no one else was in danger.
