Judge sets trial date for accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson
|
 Missed this the other day. Now we know, and can move on to other things. [NYPost] Accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson
…more fully Tyler James Robinson, 23, the gay, radical left man romantically involved with a very unbalanced transgender furry who’d turned his back on the healthy Republican conservatism of his Mormon family, and set out to assassinate Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University for daring to argue for his beliefs on college campuses — and win against all comers. Mr. Robinson immediately told his Discord crowd what he’d done, then afterward his father persuaded him to turn himself in. Whether or not he is Black Bloc/Antifa, he looks like their ideal candidate… has lost a bid to postpone his case until 2029, as a Utah judge set the capital murder trial for the summer of 2028.
Jury selection for the highly-anticipated case against Robinson — who’s accused of killing the 31-year-old conservative activist in front of a crowd of thousands — is set to begin on June 21, 2028, Judge Tony Graf decided on Monday.
Graf set aside 105 trial days — or roughly five months — for the case that will not only require a jury to decide Robinson’s guilt but also whether he should be sentenced to death, if found guilty.
Robinson’s team asked the judge to hold off the high-profile trial until the summer of 2029 on the grounds the lawyers needed the extra time to wade through an overwhelming amount of evidence.
But prosecutors said they could be ready for trial on Oct. 4, 2027, a date which Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, pushed for. However,
alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk...
the state’s attorneys said they preferred for the trial to begin in January 2028 to avoid needing to break for the holidays during the trial anticipated to last for 17 weeks.
Graf said he considered the Kirk family’s request for an earlier trial date against Robinson’s right to sufficient time to prepare for the lengthy and serious trial — essentially arriving at a date in between the ones proposed by both sides.
"Given Mr. Robinson’s current status, unnecessary delay remains a serious concern," the judge said, apparently referring to the fact that Robinson is in jail pending trial.
Kirk’s family wasn’t happy with Graf’s trial date.
"Today’s decision to delay the trial of the man accused of murdering our beloved Charlie until at least June 2028, is deeply disappointing," the slain activist’s family said in a statement.
"While nothing will restore the time we have lost with Charlie, every additional day without justice prolongs our family’s pain and forces us to wait even longer for accountability."
Meanwhile,
...back at the alley, Slats grabbed for his rosco...
Erika’s lawyers had said "each hearing induces anxiety, pain and mourning," for the widow and the two young children she had with Charlie.
Kirk’s side also noted if the case dragged on for years, taxpayers would have to continue to foot the bill for Robinson’s pricey death penalty
 lawyers, who have already billed $1.6 million, Neiman said.
"Charlie’s death should not lead to the lawyers defending his assassin becoming millionaires," Neiman blasted.
Robinson, 23, is charged with first-degree murder and related charges for allegedly perching on a rooftop, firing a gun over a crowd of 4,000 people, including kids, as the Turning Point USA founder was speaking at Utah Valley University, according to prosecutors.
Robinson then allegedly bragged in a text message about the killing to his trans partner Lance Twiggs before he was arrested roughly a day later, prosecutors claimed.
He was motivated to take out Kirk for espousing beliefs supporting traditional relationships that were "repugnant" to Robinson’s LGBTQ+ lifestyle, prosecutor Ryan McBride said at a hearing last month.
Robinson’s lawyers have claimed the prosecution’s video and DNA evidence are unreliable and claimed any animosity Robinson had against Kirk was unrelated to his love life.
Robinson has pleaded not guilty
"Wudn't me."
He could face death by a firing squad if he’s convicted at trial.
