Arguing that ‘What happened to Ms. Robeson was a tragic event,’ the suspect’s defense attorneys denied accusations that he was criminally responsible for the death of Robeson.
‘While we understand that the justice system must play out, we know that the facts will show that Mr Towers has no criminal history, has been a productive and upstanding citizen for his entire life, and is not guilty of these charges,’ the release from the law firm of Dain Stewart at Amari, stated.
