"While nothing will restore the time we have lost with Charlie, every additional day without justice prolongs our family's pain and forces us to wait even longer for accountability. As we continue down this difficult road, we remain deeply grateful for the love, prayers, and support that have sustained our family through these painful months." -Erika Kirk

[PJMedia.com] By postponing the trial of cold-blooded assassin Tyler Robinson to at least mid-2028, nearly two years from now, a judge is prolonging the agony of the Kirk family and delaying justice for Charlie. (Screengrab image: via CBN News)

Erika Kirk forgave her husband‘s killer in a heroic act of holiness, but forgiveness does not mean that someone can escape the consequences of his actions. Justice still demands the death penalty for the assassin. Erika shared the joint statement from the Kirk family on X on Monday. "Today's decision to delay the trial of the man accused of murdering our beloved Charlie until at least June 2028 is deeply disappointing," she sadly wrote.

"While nothing will restore the time we have lost with Charlie, every additional day without justice prolongs our family's pain and forces us to wait even longer for accountability," she emphasized. "As we continue down this difficult road, we remain deeply grateful for the love, prayers, and support that have sustained our family through these painful months."

This trial is one where the right and wrong, the guilt and innocence, really are as stark as black and white. There are messages that Robinson wrote to his "transgender" lover about killing Kirk, and clear video of the whole time covering Robinson‘s preparation in the building for the shooting, his actual shot, and what happened right after, according to courtroom attendees. A family member remembered Robinson ranting soon before the shooting about how much he loathed Charlie Kirk, accusing the young patriot who simply debated the truth in charity, of spreading hate. Shell casings found at the scene allegedly had inscriptions including "Hey fascist! Catch!" and "if you read this you are gay lmao."
