Robinson Sentenced to Life for Killing Two Year Old
Pike Circuit Judge Eddy Coleman handed down a life sentence Friday to a Sidney woman who pleaded guilty to a charge of Murder last month. 22 year old Amber Nicole Robinson admitted that she murdered her two year old daughter, Holly Lockard, in November 2005. As she stood before Judge Coleman Friday morning, Robinson contended that she accidentally killed the young girl after grabbing her while she was misbehaving. Robinson’s Attorney Robbie Wright argued for the minimum sentence, however Judge Coleman adopted the Commonwealth’s recommendation of a life sentence. James Robinson, the child's stepfather, is scheduled to appear in court this week with his murder trial taking place next month.
