Erika Kirk files paperwork in attempt to get speedy trial for the assassin accused of killing her husband
Erika Kirk demands speedy trial for husband’s accused assassin in new court filing
- Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk, has filed court papers demanding a speedy trial for Tyler Robinson, who is accused of her husband's murder.
- Her attorney, Jeffrey Neiman, filed a notice invoking her rights as a victim under Utah law, accusing the defense of causing "undue delay."
- The delay stems from Robinson's defense team seeking to remove a local prosecutor due to an alleged conflict of interest.
- The conflict of interest claim is based on a deputy in the county attorney's office having an adult child present when Charlie Kirk was shot.
- Legal experts say Erika’s court filing will likely add urgency to the case, with Robinson due back in court on Feb. 3.
