A man from Florida is currently facing trial for allegedly killing his girlfriend and then searching online for an answer to the question, “If I performed CPR over five hours ago, why isn’t it working?” before heading to meet with his parole officer.

Davarius James, aged 38, is charged with the murder of his girlfriend, Claudette Robinson, who was 50 years old, in the city of Pensacola. The trial proceedings commenced on Wednesday, as reported by the Pensacola News-Journal.

According to a probable cause affidavit reviewed by Law&Crime, police responded to a call around 7 a.m. on February 3 at a residence on the 900 block of North 7th Avenue, where Robinson was discovered deceased. Officers noted she had suffered “an excessive amount of blunt force trauma to her face and chest.”

The injuries left her face severely swollen and bruised, with what appeared to be rug burn on the right side, as detailed in the affidavit.

A woman who dialed 911 reported that she received a call from James, whom she considered a lifelong friend, requesting her to check on Robinson. Upon entering the home, she found Robinson seated in a recliner with a bruise that had swollen her right eye shut, and she was “cold to the touch.” The friend insisted on calling 911, to which James reportedly responded, “this isn’t going to look good,” attributing the injuries to a fall.

After retrieving her phone from the car to contact the authorities, she returned to find James had fled, according to the affidavit. When deputies arrived, they had her call James on speakerphone. During the call, he supposedly said he needed to explain “last night” and mentioned that “she been dead.” Once informed that police were listening in, he ended the call, the complaint noted.

In an interview after his arrest, and after he was given his Miranda rights, James reportedly said he had been dating Robinson for two years and living with her for about a year. James said the two had an argument the night before about her giving his personal items away to family and friends without his permission, which “angered” him, cops said. He claimed he tried to grab her arm, and she fell and busted the back of her head on the ground after she yanked her arm away.

When detectives questioned how she could suffer an injury to her face when she fell on the back of her head, he allegedly became “agitated” and claimed she fell in a “twisting fashion, hitting her face first and then the back of the head,” according to cops.

The defendant said the victim got up “wobbly” and walked to the bathroom, where he heard a crash. He said he went to check on her and found her on the floor. James allegedly said he helped her up and guided her to the bed where they laid together. The victim “stopped talking and just held him,” cops wrote.

According to the affidavit, James continued to check on her pulse and her breathing because “he was concerned that she would die.”

“James recounted that at one point Robinson was shaking and her eyes were rolling in the back of her head, his solution was to pour cold water on top of her. This shocked Robinson and she grabbed James again,” detectives stated.

He was “satisfied she was not dead,” eventually fell asleep and awoke around 7 a.m. the next day, cops wrote. He said his girlfriend was breathing but “very shallowly.” Then he went to meet with his parole officer. After returning to the home, he told Robinson “yesterday is in the past, daddy is here to take care of you,” according to the affidavit.

But when he went to pick her up she felt “stiff,” which is when he started calling friends for help, cops said. He also had been previously arrested for an alleged domestic violence incident against Robinson in which she was “afraid that James would kill her,” investigators noted.

During an opening statement, prosecutors said James did a Google search that said: “If I performed CPR over five hours ago, why isn’t it working.”

James has been in the Escambia County Jail ever since his arrest.
