Lewis v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellants Atu Lewis and Jacque Dominique Clark were convicted of murder and related crimes stemming from a home invasion. Lewis was sentenced to life in prison without parole for malice murder and a term of years for his other crimes. Clark was sentenced to life in prison with parole for felony murder and a term of years for his remaining crimes. On appeal, Lewis claimed the evidence was insufficient to convict him for malice murder and the other charges for which he was convicted based on the fact that the State's key witness was an accomplice to the crime. Clark claimed the evidence was insufficient to convict him on the basis that key witness' testimony was uncorroborated. Finding the evidence sufficient to authorize a rational jury to find appellants guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of all the crimes of which they were convicted and sentenced, the Supreme Court affirmed both appellants' convictions and sentences.
