State v. Lewis

Rulon, C.J.:

Defendant Conqual D. Lewis appeals his convictions for voluntary manslaughter and criminal possession of a firearm, arguing the venire panel was unconstitutionally comprised, the State improperly exercised one of its peremptoiy challenges, and the district court abused its discretion in denying die defendant’s motion for a downward sentencing departure. We affirm in part and dismiss in part.

The parties are aware of the underlying facts of the case, and we will limit our discussion of the facts to those necessary to address the legal issues raised in this appeal.

MOTION TO DISCHARGE…
