Here is the courthouse in Harrisonburg, Virginia.(WTOP/Neal Augenstein) Shopping cart in the woods. (Courtesy Fairfax County) The lawyer for 'shopping cart killer' suspect Anthony Eugene Robinson has asked a judge to delay an August trial because he has yet to receive a mental health evaluation to determine whether Robinson was insane when he allegedly killed two women in the Harrisonburg, Virginia, area in 2021. As first reported by WTOP, defense attorney Louis Nagy is weighing an insanity defense and could argue his client was not guilty by reason of insanity in the deaths of 54-year-old Beth Redmon of Harrisonburg, and 39-year-old Tonita Smith of Charlottesville.
