Acting Camden County Prosecutor James P. Lynch reported today that a Grand Jury has indicted Alicia Willis Robinson F/33 and her husband Lawrence Robinson M/36 on Murder, Conspiracy to Commit Murder, Hindering Apprehension or Prosecution by disposing of the body, Conspiracy to Hinder Apprehension or Prosecution and Endangering the Welfare of a Child. The indictment, issued on Wednesday, April 12, 2006, alleges that the Robinsons beat and killed their four year old son, Jerell, and disposed of the body in a bag and dumped it in a vacant lot at 311 N. Lawrence Street, Philadelphia PA.

On May 28, 1994, it was ruled by the Medical Examiner that cause of death of the young child found was murder.

After the Philadelphia Police Department’s Homicide Unit conducted several interviews, it was determined that the crime was committed in Camden, N.J. The case was then turned over to the Camden County Prosecutors Office and Camden City Police Homicide Units. After further investigation the Robinsons were charged with Murder.

Murder is a first degree charge which carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment with a 30 year parole disqualifier. An additional post-indictment court appearance will be scheduled in the next couple of weeks.

All persons charged with criminal offenses are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of Law.
