Tyler Robinson’s Kirk Murder Trial Will Be Public and Livestreamed, Judge Says

Tyler Robinson, 22, is set to stand trial next month in connection with the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University earlier this month.

The proceedings, scheduled to be open to the public, will be livestreamed nationwide, reflecting the high-profile nature of the case.

Robinson faces multiple charges, including aggravated murder, which carries the potential for the death penalty.

Robinson was taken into custody at his family’s residence on Sept. 11, nearly two days after the incident.

Prosecutors say he admitted in private messages with his romantic partner and text communications with friends that he carried out the attack.
