A Wilmington man will spend the next 59 years behind bars after a jury found him responsible for a deadly collision that claimed two lives and sent four more people to the hospital.<\/p>

DeJuan Robinson, 28, was handed the lengthy prison sentence on June 24. The punishment follows a verdict reached by a Superior Court jury, which found Robinson guilty on two counts of Murder in the Second Degree, as well as two additional counts connected to the fatal crash.<\/p>

The case was prosecuted by the Department of Justice, which secured the conviction and the multi-decade sentence against Robinson for his role in the collision.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
