跟进：柯克遇刺案审判日期定在2028年夏季 陪审员遴选2028年6月21日开始
犹他州普罗沃 — 审理查理·柯克遇刺案的犹他州第四司法区法官 Tony Graf 11月9日裁定，被指控枪杀柯克的 Tyler Robinson 将于2028年夏季受审，陪审员遴选定于2028年6月21日开始。Graf 为这场审判预留了105个庭审日，并下令组成一个多达3,600人的陪审员候选池、填写一份详细的问卷；开庭前的状态会议将按月举行。
这一日期是三方主张之间的折中。检方表示最早可在2027年10月4日准备就绪，但建议2028年1月31日开审，以避开冬季与假期对预计约17周审理的打断；辩方以证据量庞大、需要挑战死刑求刑并申请变更审判地为由，要求把审判推迟到2029年第三季度，并预计审理将持续六到七个月。柯克的遗孀 Erika Kirk 曾以书面申请要求最迟2027年开审、加快这段痛苦的诉讼进程；裁定公布后，她在社交平台X上称这一时间表「令人深感失望」。
Robinson 现年23岁，对包括加重谋杀、使用枪支重罪、在儿童在场时实施暴力犯罪、妨碍证人作证与妨碍司法在内的七项指控均作无罪答辩。检方已表示将对他求处死刑。法官此前在初步听证中认定，检方已提出足够的可能成立理由（probable cause）。
柯克是保守派组织「美国转折点」的联合创始人，2025年9月10日在犹他州奥勒姆的犹他谷大学校园活动上发表演讲时遭枪击身亡，当时现场有包括儿童在内的数千名观众。按新排定的日程，这场审判将在案发近三年后才开始。

Follow-Up: Trial in Charlie Kirk Assassination Case Set for Summer 2028, Jury Selection to Begin June 21, 2028
Provo, Utah — Tony Graf, the Utah Fourth District judge overseeing the Charlie Kirk assassination case, ruled on November 9 that Tyler Robinson, the man accused of fatally shooting Kirk, will stand trial in the summer of 2028, with jury selection set to begin on June 21, 2028. Graf set aside 105 trial days, ordered a pool of as many as 3,600 prospective jurors to complete an extensive questionnaire, and scheduled monthly pretrial status conferences.
The date is a compromise among three competing proposals. Prosecutors said they could be ready as early as October 4, 2027, but recommended a January 31, 2028 start to avoid winter and holiday interruptions to a trial they expect to last about 17 weeks. The defense, citing the volume of evidence, its challenge to the death penalty and a possible change-of-venue request, had asked for the third quarter of 2029 and expects the trial to run six to seven months. Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, had filed a request for a start no later than 2027 to speed what she called a painful legal process; after the ruling she posted on X that the timeline was "deeply disappointing."
Robinson, 23, has pleaded not guilty to seven counts, including aggravated murder, felony use of a firearm, committing a violent offense in the presence of a child, witness tampering and obstruction of justice. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty. The judge previously found at a preliminary hearing that prosecutors had presented sufficient probable cause.
Kirk, a co-founder of the conservative organization Turning Point USA, was shot and killed on September 10, 2025, while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, before a crowd of thousands that included children. Under the new schedule, the trial will begin nearly three years after the shooting.
