and abetting the robberies of the Kay Jewelers in Tilton, New Hampshire and the

The defendant, who admitted to being a

of the jewelry store robberies by a federal grand jury in August and is
scheduled for trial in November. Several other individuals have been charged in
state court with lesser offenses related to the crimes. He is presumed innocent
of all charges until he is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
