CONWAY, SC (WBTW) – The man accused of killing Angie Pipkin in January 2014 was back in court Tuesday in regards to a motion filed in November requesting a judge disqualify the 15th Circuit Solicitor’s office from prosecuting the case.
The case was continued for at least 30 days, according to Solicitor Jimmy Richardson.
Richardson confirmed that defense attorney Morgan Martin, who is representing 48-year-old Randy Robinson, filed a motion to disqualify Richardson’s office because it recently hired Christopher Helms. Helms was formerly a public defender who was involved in Robinson’s defense early in the case.
Robinson is charged with murder and obstruction of justice in the death of 32-year-old Angie Pipkin. Authorities say Robinson killed Pipkin and disposed of her dismembered body at a landing on the Great Pee Dee River in Darlington County.
Pipkin was last seen on January 16, 2014 getting into a car at the IGA on Main Street in Aynor, officials say. She was later seen on security cameras around 9:30 p.m. at the Wilco Food Mart at 6222 Highway 707 in Myrtle Beach.
On May 14, 2014, investigators announced remains found in East Florence off Paper Mill Road belonged to Pipkin.
