Erika Kirk Invokes Victim’s Speedy-Trial Right, Accuses Defense of Delay in Charlie Kirk Killing Case

Her notice invokes Utah’s victim right to a speedy disposition, alleging the case is being prolonged by Tyler Robinson’s legal team.

Overview

  • Her attorney filed the notice Friday and it was made public Monday, urging the court to curb what she calls undue delay.
  • Prosecutors say discovery is about 90% complete, and Robinson has not yet entered a plea or had a preliminary hearing.
  • The defense seeks to disqualify the Utah County Attorney’s Office because a deputy prosecutor’s adult child attended the event, a move prosecutors describe as a stalling tactic.
  • Judge Tony Graf said the disqualification motion should have been filed earlier to make better use of the court’s time.
  • The hearing on the disqualification motion is scheduled to resume on Feb. 3.
