Supreme Court of Arkansas

Nicholas Matthew Lewondowski v. State of Arkansas

February 24, 2022639 S.W.3d 850

Summary

The court affirmed Lewondowski’s convictions and life sentences for three capital murders and a firearm enhancement. It held that substantial evidence supported the verdicts, that any error in replaying an interview for the jury was nonprejudicial because the State rebutted the presumption of prejudice, and that no disqualifying conflict of interest was shown. The court declined to consider Lewondowski’s custodial-interrogation arguments because the specific claims raised on appeal were not preserved below.
