In a plea agreement that could mitigate his sentence, 54-year-old Abdul Robinson Sr. has agreed to testify against his son. This decision comes as he faces sentencing on November 21.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The father of local rapper Ksoo is scheduled for sentencing next month after being implicated as an accessory following a murder for which his son was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

Court documents reveal that Robinson Sr. is slated to appear in court on November 21 at 9 a.m. His testimony against his son in exchange for a reduced sentence is part of the plea deal he accepted.

During the trial, Robinson Sr. pointed to his son as the gunman responsible for Charles McCormick’s murder. He also admitted to aiding Ksoo’s accomplices in burning the clothing worn during the crime.

Robinson Sr. acknowledged the potential consequence of a life sentence for his actions if he chose to testify against his son, affirming his understanding of the gravity of the situation.

During the trial, a video of McCormick being shot to death, captured by a dash camera affixed to a witness’s truck, was shown to jurors.

During his deposition, Robinson Sr. said his son was shown on the video. How did he know? He summed it up: He knows his kids, and he could just tell.

Then, when asked the identity of the man in the video while on the stand, Robinson Sr. hesitated for a long moment, but then said, “My son.”

Robinson Sr. told the court he was cooperating so he can be released in time to spend time with his younger children, telling stories about his 8-year-old daughter wanting him to attend a dance and his 6-year-old wanting to play football together. He also talked about health concerns that he felt may shorten his life, such as diabetes, failing kidneys and congestive heart failure.

Robinson wasn’t the only defendant to receive life in prison for McCormick’s murder. His cousin Leroy Whitaker, a.k.a. ATK Scotty, also received life.

Meanwhile, Robinson’s brother and Robinson Sr.’s other son, Abdul Robinson Jr., was sentenced to 12 years in prison on an accessory after the fact charge in connection to McCormick’s murder.
