A man investigators say shot another man during a robbery was arraigned for the second time in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court. This time, for aggravated murder.

Justin Wilson, 25, of 223 Township Road 1186 Apt. 43, South Point, had originally been charged with murder following the shooting death of 30-year-old Justin Adams on Jan. 13.

According to Lawrence County Prosecuting Attorney Brigham Anderson, Wilson’s charge was increased to aggravated murder because Wilson was allegedly in the act of committing an aggravated robbery. This came to light following the two co-defendants in the case giving statements under oath about the incident.

Wilson pleaded not guilty to that charge and a third-degree count of tampering with evidence.

Aggravated murder carries a maximum sentence of life without parole, while the lesser murder charge with a gun specification would carry a maximum of life in prison with the possibility of parole after 18 years.
