Baos Slipups free man after 180 day rule lapse
George Robinson faced multiple felony charges in 1979 but was released on August 25 1980 after Rule 1100 required trial within 180 days of arrest. Delays due to judicial action and no further extension by the commonwealth led to dismissal. Prosecutor Howard Klebe called the case a miscarriage of justice despite the alleged rape burglary and theft.

Klebe cites judicial delay as hampering the trial and notes time charged to the commonwealth unless extensions are granted. Verterano, Robinson's attorney, questions if an extension could have been filed earlier. The piece notes multiple Rule 1100 dismissals since 1978, including cases from DUI to murder, with Anthony Hood linked to a fatal shooting and prior mental health history.
