Lewis v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed Lewis's convictions, holding that the Superior Court did not commit plain error by considering aggravated menacing as a lesser-included offense of first-degree robbery. Although the trial court initiated the discussion during closing arguments, the State affirmatively requested consideration of the lesser-included offense and the defense agreed without objecting. The Court also concluded that the absence of a pre-closing conference did not require reversal under these circumstances.
