The trial over the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in the United States will begin in the summer of 2028.
Globalinfo.az reports that ABC television broadcast the information, citing a ruling by a judge in the state of Utah.
Judge Tony Graf said the timeline was important to protect the constitutional rights of the defendant, Tyler Robinson, and of the murdered activist’s wife at all stages of the trial.
The trial is expected to last 105 days.
Jury selection will begin on June 21, 2028.
Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10, 2025. That day the activist was speaking at a university campus in Utah. During the event, shots were fired at him from a distance of about 180 meters and a bullet struck his neck. Kirk was rushed to hospital, but his life could not be saved. A few days later, law enforcement officers detained a 22-year-old student, Tyler Robinson, as a suspect. US President Donald Trump later said that Charlie Kirk had every chance of becoming the owner of the White House in the future.
