Tyler Robinson, 22, accused of fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk, will stand trial next month in a proceeding to be streamed nationwide, a judge ruled Monday. Robinson, who could face the death penalty, was arrested on September 11 after allegedly confessing to killing Kirk, 31, during a student event in Utah. Investigators believe Robinson targeted Kirk for his conservative beliefs and opposition to transgender ideology.
Judge Tony Graf set the next hearing for October 30 in Provo, confirming it would be held in person at the defense’s request. Prosecutor Chad Grunander described the evidence against Robinson as “voluminous,” noting that both sides are working to manage extensive discovery materials efficiently.
Court documents reveal Robinson left a letter for his transgender partner admitting to the killing, claiming he acted to “protect” them. Defense attorney Kathryn Nester requested more time to review the evidence, emphasizing the need for preparation. The defense’s primary goal will be to avoid a death sentence if Robinson is convicted.
