TOPEKA – The Kansas Supreme Court has upheld the convictions of a Wichita man who offered a friend cash and drugs to kill the pregnant 14-year-old girl who was carrying his child.

The court ruled Friday that Elgin Ray Robinson, Jr., is not entitled to a new trial or sentencing in the death of Chelsea Brooks. She was nine months pregnant at the time. Brooks disappeared on June 9, 2006.

Brooks had gone to a skating rink that night in Wichita with several of her friends. At some point, she left the skating rink with Robinson’s friend, Everett Gentry. She told her friends that Gentry was taking her to meet Robinson. Through text messages, she later told her friends that Robinson had not shown up and that Gentry would drop her off at the skating rink after Gentry took a friend home. she never returned to the skating rink.

Her body was found six days later in shallow grave in Butler County. Homicide detectives quickly focused their investigation on Gentry, who ultimately implicated himself, Robinson, and Theodore Burnett in her murder.

Robinson was convicted of capital murder and other charges.

The Supreme Court rejected defense arguments that the trial court should have suppressed evidence of Robinson’s statements to police and of computer searches he conducted before the murder.

Robinson also challenged the introduction of photographs of the girl’s body as it was uncovered from the grave.
