[SUPREME] Michael Carr v. State of Indiana, No. 23S-LW-00139

Jason Lewis died from multiple gunshot wounds in August 2018. In May 2023, a jury convicted Michael Carr of Lewis's murder. The State sought a sentence for life imprisonment without the possibility of parole (LWOP). It alleged the two qualifying aggravators as (1) lying in wait, and (2) being on parole when the murder occurred. The jury recommended the LWOP sentence and the Wayne Superior Court sentenced Carr accordingly. Carr now directly appeals to the Indiana Supreme Court under Appellate Rule 4(A)(1).
