Update on Monmouth County Murder Trial
I recently wrote an article about the felony murder trial of Andre Dennis in Monmouth County Superior Court. Here is an update on the case. Dennis was convicted this past week for conspiracy to commit armed robbery, armed robbery, felony murder, unlawful possession of a handgun, and possession of a handgun for an unlawful purpose. The jury took merely an hour and a half to convict Dennis of these charges. It appears that the jury had no doubt of the defendant's guilty. The defendant's attorney attempted to argue that Dennis was merely "along for the ride" that night with his older brother and that Dennis should not be responsible for what someone else did. Under the felony murder doctrine, Dennis was found responsible for just that.
