The judge overseeing the pre-trial probable cause hearings of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson says he will not make a decision about whether to send him to trial for two months. 

Utah District Judge Tony Graf delayed making his final decision until September 1, at which point he will rule over whether Robinson faces a murder trial and the possibility of the death penalty. 

During the weeklong hearing, prosecutors have presented a raft of evidence that they say implicates Robinson in the assassination. 

This included DNA found on a towel wrapped around the murder weapon, several alleged confessions, and bombshell testimony from his former roommate and transgender lover, Lance Twiggs. 

But both the prosecution and defense requested time to review transcripts and to submit written briefs to argue their case, leading Graf to schedule an additional hearing to finally land on a decision. 

In a statement at the conclusion of Friday’s hearing, the Kirk family – including Charlie’s widow Erika and his parents Robert and Kathryn – said it marked an ‘important step forward in the pursuit of justice.’

‘Our family is grateful for the prayers, support, and kindness that has been extended to us, especially through these unimaginably painful and emotionally demanding proceedings,’ the statement read. 

‘As difficult as these last few days have been, it brings our family comfort to know that the world has witnessed the overwhelming evidence of what occurred to Charlie that day.

‘Nothing will ever undo the loss of our beloved Charlie. As this case moves into its next phase, we pray that truth will continue to be heard through a process that is fair, transparent, and grounded in the facts.’
