State Supreme Court upholds death penalty
The Illinois Supreme Court today upheld the death penalty statute and the conviction of Cornelius Lewis for the 1978 Citi zens National Bank guard slaying in Decatur. The court set May 14, 1982 as Lewis's execution date, rejected challenges to the statute, and declined Lewis's bid for a second jury and for a claim of ineffective counsel for his sister, Bernice. Justice Underwood led the majority, affirming that mitigating and aggravating factors must guide sentencing.
