DA to seek the death penalty in Martinez church parking lot murder
MARTINEZ, Ga. (WRDW) -- The local District Attorney intends to seek the death penalty for a man accused of shooting and killing a Martinez man in a church parking lot, court documents show.
Daniel Robinson is also accused of hurting a woman and killing her husband who was trying to help in an attempted carjacking, officers said.
Robinson's been indicted on nine felony counts including murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, hijacking a motor vehicle, armed robbery, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
For the murder charges alone, Robinson could have faced life in prison, life without parole or the death penalty if found guilty.
In Augusta, Bill and Jenny Davitte stopped by the Marvin United Methodist Church to turn on the sprinkler system, investigators said. Robinson approached Jenny, who was sitting alone in her car, and started beating her in the head.
Bill ran over to help his wife and Robinson shot him three times, officers said. Robinson took the car and was later caught by Florida Highway Patrol near Jacksonville.
