Problems Plague Robinson Trial

Monday, 7 May 2012 07:35

Technical issues with the court is once again causing delays to the John Robinson murder trial in Woodstock. The Crown was set to proceed with its next witnesses at 10 o'clock this morning, but a recurring technical issue has again postponed the start of daily testimony. Robinson stands accused of 1st degree murder of 26-year-old Clifford Fair. Once proceedings resumed, the continuation of the cross-examination of Amy Gilbert resumed. Last week, Gilbert testified that Robinson hit Fair twice in the head with a steel pipe in an unprovoked attack.
