Lewis v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Dwight Lewis’s convictions for malice murder and related offenses, holding that the evidence was constitutionally sufficient and that the trial court did not commit plain error by omitting a voluntary manslaughter instruction. The Court reasoned that corroboration of eyewitness testimony is not required and that a lesser‑offense instruction requires a written request. The decision also noted that the jury’s credibility determinations are binding.
