Man accused of murder had previous case dropped due to public defender work stoppage
"A Mattapan man who was arrested Sunday and charged with murder was also charged earlier this year with possession of a dangerous weapon, but had his case dropped due to the ongoing public defender work stoppage in Massachusetts. Javonte Robinson, 29, was arrested by Boston police just after 3 p.m. Sunday near Neponset Valley Parkway in Hyde Park. The night before, officers responded to a report about a person that had been stabbed close to an address on Fremont Street in Mattapan."
"In late August, Robinson was arraigned on charges of possession of a dangerous weapon and possession of a Class A drug. He was released on personal recognizance, according to the records, but was transported to Attleboro District Court where he was wanted on other outstanding warrants. Last month, Robinson's charges were dismissed without prejudice, meaning that the case could be reopened in the future."
