There are few details in the article, but perhaps he was not the only one who got what he deserved.
Its a lot less surprising when you read the last sentence in the article -- "Robbins is also accused of trying while in jail to hire someone to kill Feigenbaum." Feigenbaum was the prosecutor.
Robbins was arrested for shooting a man who was a suspect in another murder. Then a friend of Robbins' was busted plotting to kill the state attorney assigned to the case.
According to witnesses, Robbins, the victim (Jason Stukey) and his friend were arguing in a convenience store parking lot. It was around 4 am. Two of the men were drunk. It got ugly fast. It started to get physical when Jason Stukey tried to get inside Robbins' mini-van, assaulting him. Robbins tried to get away, but the young man wouldn't let go. Then it was an all-out brawl.
I don't see how they arrived at 2nd degree murder. I wonder if race was a factor in the prosecution.
"The jury will not be told that Robbins' friend, Renee Jones, 40, was charged in November with trying to hire a hit man to kill Feigenbaum. Investigators have been unable to link Robbins to that case. Jones faces 30 years in prison if convicted."
As for the state's informant, "The state conceded that Fisher lost his credibility when he was charged with carjacking an elderly couple and leading police on a high-speed chase just weeks after he was granted bail."
