Avante Lawshea v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed Lawshea's convictions for two counts of capital felony murder and aggravated robbery, rejecting his claim that the evidence insufficiently corroborated accomplice testimony. The court held that testimony and independent evidence, including surveillance footage, witness accounts, the distinctive vehicle, and Lawshea's DNA on a cigarette butt, substantially connected him to the crimes. The court also found no reversible error in its required review of the record.
