Defense attorneys in Charlie Kirk killing seek 2029 trial date

In Utah, defense attorneys for Tyler Robinson, accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk, have proposed a 2029 trial date, saying they need more time to prepare for the complex death penalty case. Prosecutors said they could be ready by October 2027 and proposed a January 31, 2028 start. Erika Kirk's attorney called the delay 'absurd' and said it would prolong suffering for the couple's two young children. A hearing to set a trial date is scheduled for Friday before Judge Tony Graf.
