Judge Tony Graf orders Tyler Robinson to stand trial for the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, with jury selection slated for June 2028 in Provo.
Tyler Robinson, 23, is accused of fatally shooting Charlie Kirk, a far‑right pundit and activist described as a conservative activist.

Robinson's attorneys have asked to start the trial in January 2029, while Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's widow, pushed for an October 2027 trial date; the trial date was ultimately set during a hearing in a Provo courtroom more than two months after the judge's ruling.
