⠀.
Charlie Kirk's murder trial now has a date. And that's in 2028.
⠀.
More than a year after Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University, a judge has set a trial date for the man accused of killing him.
⠀.
Tyler Robinson, 23, faces seven charges, including aggravated murder. He pleaded not guilty.
⠀.
At a hearing on November 9, Judge Tony Graff set jury selection to begin on June 21, 2028.
⠀.
The date follows months of disagreement between the prosecution, the defense and the Kirks family.
⠀.
Prosecutors requested an earlier trial. Robinson's lawyers asked for more time to review evidence and prepare legal challenges, including issues related to a possible death penalty.
⠀.
Kirks' widow also urged the court to move faster.
⠀.
The judges' decision establishes a timeline, but it does not resolve the disputed evidence, the alleged motive or the guilt of the defendants.
⠀.
With the trial still well over a year away, the next big battles will take place in pretrial hearings.
