A long-awaited psychiatric evaluation showed “shopping cart killer” suspect Anthony Eugene Robinson wasn’t criminally insane when he allegedly killed and disposed of the bodies of two women in Harrisonburg, Virginia, WTOP has learned.
Robinson is also suspected in two deaths in Fairfax County and one in D.C. — but hasn’t been charged in those cases.
Defense attorney Louis Nagy says the psychiatric evaluation, ordered by a Rockingham County Circuit Court judge, in 2022, “was not helpful,” as he considered an insanity defense.
On Sept. 23, Robinson is set to begin a five-day first-degree murder trial in the death of 39-year-old Tonita Smith, of Charlottesville. Early next year, he’ll face a similar trial in the death of Beth Redmon, 54, of Harrisonburg.
