Accused Facebook Live killer gets attorneys in death-penalty case
After months of haggling, the man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend on Facebook Live will be represented by two death-penalty-qualified attorneys in his first-degree murder trial. Johnathan Robinson, 37, is accused in the April 12, 2018 death of Rennita Williams, as a horrified world watched him commit the crime and police stood helplessly outside trying to negotiate with him. Earlier this month, the Baton Rouge Capital Conflict Office in Baton Rouge submitted a Motion to Enroll as council, promising to provide two capital-certified attorneys, a mitigation specialist and investigator, to defend Robinson.
