The first degree murder trial of John Robinson will begin this morning in Woodstock.

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.
