Lewis v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Lewis's convictions and sentences, holding that the accomplice testimony was sufficiently corroborated, the post-trial letter did not establish the exceptional circumstances required for a new trial based on recantation, and the statutory perjury requirement did not violate due process or equal protection. It also held that sentencing Lewis to life without parole did not violate constitutional jury-finding requirements because that sentence falls within the statutory range for murder. No separate opinions were filed.
