PANAMA CITY — Assistant Public Defender Fritz Mann told jurors Tuesday to look at the details to shape their verdict in Maurice Robinson’s burglary trial this week.

Robinson, 32, of Opa-locka, is charged with two counts of grand theft of more than $100,000, burglary of a structure with damage of more than $1,000, burglary of a structure or conveyance and possessing burglary tools. He faces up to life in prison if convicted as charged.

Robinson is accused of participating in three jewelry store burglaries the morning of Nov. 19, 2007. His trial began Tuesday with opening statements and the first witnesses. The trial is expected to go late into Thursday or Friday. Read more about Jewelry heist truth in the details, jury told …

PANAMA CITY — Prosecutor Larry Basford asked prospective jurors Monday whether they were fans of the television shows “CSI” or “Law and Order.”
All 21 raised their hand.

“What I anticipate we will present is such things as glass fragments and paint chip evidence,” Basford said. “Listen to the lab analysts as to the tests they performed and whether that evidence is reliable.” Read more about Jewelry heist trial to feature ‘CSI'-type science …
