Overview
- Boston police say a man was fatally stabbed Saturday night on Fremont Street in Mattapan, and Robinson, 29, was arrested Sunday afternoon in Hyde Park.
- Robinson pleaded not guilty in Dorchester Municipal Court and was ordered held without bail, with Michael L. Tumposky appointed as his defense attorney.
- Court records show his recent weapons and drug case was dismissed on Oct. 25 under the Supreme Judicial Court's Lavallee protocol after 45 days without counsel, with dismissal entered without prejudice.
- Suffolk District Attorney Kevin R. Hayden's office filed a motion on Oct. 29 to reinstate those dismissed charges, and the request remains pending.
- Authorities have not released the victim's name or a motive, and the ongoing bar‑advocate work stoppage has strained the Committee for Public Counsel Services, prompting Lavallee rules that order release after seven days without a lawyer and dismissal after 45 days.
