Man Found Not Guilty in Slaying

A Westchester County jury acquitted William Robinson, of Mount Vernon, of second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter back in the Sept. 16, 2009 slaying of Shawn Andre McGee. The jury found Robinson guilty of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a felony punishable by up to 25-years in prison.

McGee was shot multiple times in broad daylight and died at Mount Vernon Hospital. Robinson was arrested in Yonkers after an intense manhunt.

He became the prime suspect because of evidence found at the scene and tips from Mount Vernon residents last year said city Police Commissioner David Chong.  Chong said that the two had an ongoing dispute.

Robinson is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 16 by County Judge James W. Hubert, who had presided over the three-week trial.
