Robinson Murder Trial Starts Today

Tuesday, 1 May 2012 07:35

The first degree murder trial of John Robinson will begin this morning in Woodstock. Robinson is accused of murdering 26-year-old Clifford Fair in 2008, and burying him in the backyard of the Princess St. home where Robinson lived. On Monday, the jury for the case was selected. Seven men and five women will sit in this case. Robinson has also changed his plea on Monday, pleading guilty now to indignity to a human body. His former girlfriend, Amy Cassidy Gilbert, who has already served her term for being an accessory to Fair's murder is expected to be a key witness in the case.
