Jackson’s Half Brother Charged in Death Plot
- Share via
GREENVILLE, S.C. — A state grand jury Tuesday indicted Noah Robinson, half brother of the Rev. Jesse Jackson, on charges of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and intimidation of a witness in a plot to kill a murder witness.
The indictments were returned nearly two months after Robinson and a former employee, Jake H. Oliver, were arrested in the case. Oliver also was indicted. Robinson has said he is a victim of a government-sponsored conspiracy.
Although Robinson and Jackson share relatives in Greenville, the former Democratic presidential hopeful has said he has had no recent contact with his half brother. A trial date has not been set.
