The family of conservative activist Charlie Kirk is asking that the trial of his alleged murderer begin next year -- sooner than the timelines suggested by the state and defense, according to new court filings.

The suspect, Tyler Robinson, is due in court on Friday for a hearing that's expected to set a timeline for the capital murder case, including trial dates.

The defense has asked that the capital trial start in the third quarter of 2029, arguing in a memo filed Wednesday that that timeline is consistent with other capital cases in the state.
