Sister seen as key witness in establishing Robbins alibi
Judy Lamphier of Marshalltown is identified as a key defense witness to place David M. Robbins away from Cedar Rapids at the time of James Ashlock's murder on Sept. 14. Defense argues alibi timing, with Lamphier recalling Robbins near her home before 10:30 a.m. and other witnesses noting driving time from Marshalltown to Cedar Rapids. The case centers on an informant who led police to Robbins, with testimony suggesting inconsistencies between Robbins statements and police accounts.
