Thomas Lee Robison entered his plea on one count of second-degree attempted murder before San Fernando Superior Court Judge Howard J. Schwab in the Aug. 1 shooting of Henry Kingi, the estranged husband of actress Lindsay Wagner.

"The incident happened so fast that it is unclear whether we could have proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Robison deliberately intended to kill Kingi," [Harold S. Lynn] said.

Robison pulled the trigger, but the gun did not fire, Kingi said. He then kicked Kingi in the groin and pulled the trigger again. This time the gun fired, hitting Kingi in the arm and chest, he said.
