Robert Mitchell, shown here at a practice before the 2009 season began, was arrested and charged with armed robbery in June 2010. He plead guilty earlier in the case and testified against Whitney.

Former Seton Hall forward Robert Mitchell, who was indicted for an armed robbery that occured in March, has confessed to the crimes and implicated fellow former Pirate Kelly Whitney, according to The Star-Ledger who cited one of the criminal complaints filed against one of the defendants.

The report says that Mitchell confessed in a videotaped statement.

The Star-Ledger reports that the confession occured one day following the March 15 crime. Both former players were arrested later that week.
