Humphrey v. Lewis
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of malice murder, burglary, and other related offenses in 1998 and was sentenced to death. The habeas court subsequently granted defendant habeas relief, vacating all of his convictions on several grounds. The court held that the habeas court erred in granting defendant relief on his Brady claim; on the ground that the trial court erred when it refused to instruct the jury on the offense of voluntary manslaughter; on his claim of several instances of prosecutorial misconduct and trial court error in connection with that alleged misconduct; on his claim that the trial court erred in failing to sua sponte stop the alleged prosecutorial misconduct; and in vacating defendant's convictions based upon a finding of cumulative error. Accordingly, the court reversed the judgment.
