罗宾逊谋杀柯克案开庭日期听证:法官推迟决定,辩方要求2029年开庭

涉嫌枪杀保守派活动家查理·柯克(Charlie Kirk)的 Tyler Robinson 一案,10月23日在犹他州普罗沃(Provo)举行开庭日期听证会,主审法官 Tony Graf 听取辩方、检方和遗孀代理律师的陈述后表示需要更多时间考虑,推迟作出决定,并将下一次听证定于11月9日。
双方分歧巨大:Robinson 的律师要求将审判推迟到2029年下半年,称死刑辩护、证据搜集和变更审判地点需要多年准备,预计审判将持续六到七个月;检方则要求2028年1月31日开庭,预计审判持续17周。柯克的遗孀 Erika Kirk 在文件中称辩方的要求“严重偏离同类案件”,要求不晚于2027年10月4日开庭。听证会前几个小时,总统特朗普在社交媒体发文抨击 Graf 法官,称案件应该一个月内开庭。
Robinson 现年23岁,已对包括加重谋杀在内的七项指控作无罪答辩;检方指控他2025年9月在奥勒姆(Orem)的犹他谷大学枪杀正在与学生辩论的柯克,并寻求判处死刑。

Judge Puts Off Decision on Trial Date in Robinson Murder Case; Defense Seeks 2029 Trial
PROVO, Utah — A Utah judge on October 23 said he needed more time to decide when to start the trial of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk. At a hearing in Provo, District Court Judge Tony Graf heard arguments from defense lawyers, prosecutors and a lawyer for Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, before saying he needed to consider their positions; he set a new hearing for November 9.
Robinson's attorneys have asked for a late 2029 trial to give them time to challenge the death penalty request, gather additional evidence and seek a change of venue, and expect a six-to-seven-month trial. Prosecutors sought a January 31, 2028 start for what they expect to be a 17-week trial. In a separate filing, Erika Kirk said the defense request was "grossly out of line with comparable cases" and asked that the trial start no later than October 4, 2027. Shortly before the hearing, President Donald Trump slammed Graf's handling of the case in a social media post, saying it should be tried within a month.
Robinson, 23, has pleaded not guilty to seven counts, including aggravated murder, for allegedly shooting Kirk as he held one of his trademark debates at Utah Valley University in Orem in September 2025. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
