Defense Challenges Evidence In Robinson Murder Trial
The Bernard William Robinson murder and sodomy case resumes in Circuit Court as defense challenges circumstantial evidence linking him to the killings of two 15 year old boys in White Plains Maryland.

The defense urges jurors to treat opening statements as indicia not evidence.
