February 4, 2008: A Morris County Jury convicted Morristown resident Anthony Wilson, 40, of First Degree Robbery and Third Degree Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose. The verdict followed a 7 day trial before the Honorable John J. Harper, J.S.C. in Morristown, New Jersey. Wilson faces life in prison when he is sentenced on March 14, 2008.

Prosecutor Bianchi stated "This case highlighted the significant forensic talents of Detective Allen DeKler and Sergeant Bruce Dunn of the Morris County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Section. Through the thorough and professional processing of the crime scene as well as other relevant items, they were successful in developing DNA samples which ultimately led to the link to the defendant. The overall cooperative partnership between the Morris County Sheriff's Office, Police Officer Paul Wilkes of the Dover Police Department, Sergeant Anthony DeVincenzo and Detective Dave Frisk of the Morris County Prosecutor's Office led to the successful outcome of this case. Assistant Prosecutor D'Onofrio should be commended for his legal efforts. He dealt with a number of complex legal and forensic issues that were intricately and professionally outlined before the jury."

Assistant Prosecutor Joseph J. D'Onofrio, Jr. prosecuted the case for the State. Wilson was represented by Jessica Moses, Esq., of Morristown. Wilson's bail of $250,000.00 was revoked.
