PROVO — Fourth District Judge Tony Graf has been reviewing requests and schedules for the many attorneys involved in the case against Tyler Robinson and is expected to issue an order with hearings and deadlines on Monday.

Robinson's attorneys have argued it is not yet time to schedule a trial, saying if dates are set it should be in 2029. Prosecutors have argued a trial should be set, and said they could be ready for a trial by early 2028.

Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, is asking for a trial that is as soon as possible.

Robinson, 23, was bound over to stand trial on seven charges, including aggravated murder, for allegedly shooting conservative political activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025, during a Turning Point USA event on the campus. He faces a possible death sentence if convicted.
