The preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson, accused of assassinating Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, concluded without a ruling from Judge Tony Graf Jr., who granted a defense request to file briefs before deciding on a trial. This procedural move adds approximately six weeks to the process, with the next hearing scheduled for September 1, 2026, just days before the one-year anniversary of the killing. The week-long proceeding, however, provided a public airing of evidence that prosecutors say overwhelmingly points to Robinson's guilt.
