Gang Member Accepts Guilty Plea After Delaware High Court Rejects Appeal

DOVER, Del. (AP) - An alleged gang member has agreed to enter a guilty plea after Delaware's Supreme Court reversed a ruling dismissing a murder indictment against him.

Jacquez Robinson entered the guilty plea after confidential attorney-client communications were seized by prosecutors from his prison cell shortly before a scheduled trial.

Wednesday's Superior Court calendar includes a plea hearing for the 24-year-old.

Robinson was indicted in 2015 for separate shootings in November 2014 that wounded two people and killed 18-year-old Malik Watson.

Watson was shot just weeks after Robinson was arrested in yet another shooting that had left a 19-year-old Wilmington man wounded.

Robinson also was among 13 alleged members of a Wilmington criminal organization called the Touch Money Gang, who were indicted in September 2015 on 91 counts that included murder and assault.
