Judge OKs Robbins evidence in Cedar Rapids murder trial
Judge William R. Eads affirmed use of tape-recorded conversations between David M. Robbins and an undercover informant in the murder case. He ruled the motel-room admissions were voluntary and not tainted by earlier custodial talks, allowing the state to proceed with key evidence as trial set for Feb. 25 in Linn County. The case marks Linn County’s first camera and sound-recorded trial period.
