Tyler Robinson, accused of fatally shooting Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, has requested through his attorneys a trial date in 2029. Erika Kirk's attorneys filed a motion opposing the proposed timeline and calling for a speedy trial. President Trump also criticized the proposed delay.

Right-leaning outlets emphasize either Trump's criticism that the judge is "desecrating" Kirk's memory or Erika Kirk's opposition to the timeline, describing the defense proposal as "absurd," "agonizing," and "grossly out of line." Several frame the delay as Robinson "simply trying to delay" justice.
