猶他州法官排定查理・柯克命案2028年開庭
路透11月9日電——美國猶他州一名法官週一排定，泰勒・羅賓森謀殺知名右翼活動人士查理・柯克一案，將於2028年6月開庭審理。羅賓森被控去年殺害柯克。Nov 9 (Reuters) - A Utah judge on Monday set a June 2028 trial date for Tyler Robinson, the man accused of murdering prominent right-wing activist Charlie Kirk last year.
23歲的羅賓森被控在柯克於奧勒姆猶他谷大學舉行其標誌性辯論活動時開槍射殺柯克，對包括加重謀殺在內的七項罪名均不認罪。Robinson, 23, has pleaded not guilty to seven counts, including aggravated murder, in the shooting of Kirk as the conservative held one of his trademark debates at Utah Valley University in Orem.
猶他州地方法院法官東尼・格拉夫（Tony Graf）將此案陪審團遴選日期訂於2028年6月21日。此前，羅賓森的律師要求將日期排至2029年底，以便有時間挑戰猶他州提出的死刑請求、蒐集更多證據，並尋求變更審判地。羅賓森的律師預期審判將持續6到7個月。Utah District Court Judge Tony Graf set jury selection for the trial for June 21, 2028, after Robinson's attorneys requested a late 2029 date to give them time to challenge Utah's request for the death penalty, gather additional evidence and seek a change of venue. Robinson's lawyers expect a six-to-seven-month trial.
檢方先前尋求於2028年1月31日開庭，審理槍殺美國總統唐納・川普（Donald Trump）盟友柯克一案；檢方預期審判將持續17週。Prosecutors had sought a date of January 31, 2028 to start what they expect to be a 17-week trial for the shooting death of Kirk, an ally of President Donald Trump.
在另一份聲請文件中，柯克的遺孀艾莉卡・柯克（Erika Kirk）要求審判於2027年開始，以加快她所稱痛苦的法律程序。In a separate filing, Erika Kirk, Kirk's widow requested the trial to start in 2027 to speed what she described as a painful legal process.
川普上月抨擊格拉夫處理此案的方式，稱審判應在一個月內開始，並說法官在問「大家早就知道答案的問題」。Trump last month slammed Graf's handling of the case, saying the trial should start within a month and the judge was asking "questions that people already know the answer to."
柯克是美國政治中的兩極化人物。保守派欽佩他動員年輕選民支持其基督教與右翼觀點。民權倡議人士則批評柯克的言論帶有種族主義、反移民、恐跨與厭女色彩，並舉出他公開貶抑美國黑人、LGBTQ族群、穆斯林和移民的言論為例。Kirk was a polarizing figure in US politics. He was admired by conservatives for mobilizing young voters around his Christian and right-wing views. Civil rights advocates criticized Kirk for rhetoric they called racist, anti-immigrant, transphobic, and misogynist, citing his public remarks denigrating Black Americans, LGBTQ communities, Muslims and immigrants.
檢方指控，羅賓森因柯克反對同性婚姻與跨性別權利而鎖定他為目標。辯護律師理查・諾瓦克（Richard Novak）在法庭上表示，柯克曾以「仇恨」口吻談論不具傳統性別認同或非異性戀者，但羅賓森的辯方表示，沒有證據顯示羅賓森反對那些觀點。Prosecutors allege Robinson targeted Kirk for his opposition to gay marriage and transgender rights. Defense attorney Richard Novak has said in court that Kirk spoke "hatefully" about people who did not have traditional gender identities or were not heterosexual, but Robinson's defense say there was no evidence Robinson opposed those views.
