In a pre-trial hearing today, Assistant District Attorney Matthew Newman told Common Pleas Court Judge Randal Todd that the D.A.’s office personally delivered eight discs containing video surveillance footage from McDonald’s and GetGo cameras to Todd Robinson’s attorneys on June 6, 2022. Wilkinsburg Police Officer Christopher Duncan shot Robinson in a McDonald’s parking lot after he was cited with a parking ticket. After Sgt. Matthew Morrison and Duncan let Robinson go, a background check showed Robinson had failed to return to a halfway house which was a condition of his parole. The officers went searching for Robinson. After some time, they found him leaving the McDonald’s on Penn Avenue.  In interviews with the Pittsburgh Institute for Nonprofit Journalism, Robinson maintains that the surveillance footage from the McDonald’s and GetGo parking lots will show that he tried to flee police after he was shot, not before.
