ELMSFORD, NY — The Elmsford man who was accused of killing a pedestrian with his car in front of the Westchester County Center in August admitted his guilt Tuesday.

According to prosecutors, just after 6:30 a.m. Aug. 24, Robinson was driving while intoxicated in White Plains.

Benjamin-Bailey, 57, was on her way to work that morning.
