A woman charged with attempted murder after authorities said she shot her husband in March 2017 has pleaded guilty to assault during a hearing in Mobile Monday.

Melodie Robinson, 68, shot her husband, Dr. Kent Robinson, while at his father’s home in West Mobile and then later shot herself, according to court testimony. Robinson had filed for divorce from her husband, but then attempted to reconcile on the evening of the shooting.

Her husband, a local neurologist, refused and that’s when the first shot was fired, according to court documentation. Dr. Robinson claimed in court that after the first shot was fired his wife said she was going to kill him.

The divorce is currently contested.

Robinson has been out on a $25,000 bail since handing herself in to cops in April 2017. She was also charged with burglary since she was not permitted to be at her husband’s father’s home.

Her plea today was a blind plea -- which is a guilty plea made without agreeing to the sentence. Robinson will be at the mercy of Circuit Court Judge Jay York, who will sentence her June 25.

Robinson faces between two and 20 years in jail and a possible fine of $30,000.
