A man who got a new trial after being convicted in the death of his half brother in southwestern Michigan is awaiting sentencing after being convicted again.
The Herald-Palladium of St. Joseph reports a Van Buren County last week convicted 37-year-old Antonio Lewis of second-degree murder in the death of Ivory Shaver.
WSJM-AM reports sentencing is scheduled for June 13.
The state Supreme Court last year declined to take an appeal from prosecutors in Lewis’ case. He had earlier been convicted of second-degree murder in the death of Shaver, whose body was found in a rural ditch in Van Buren County in 2012.
The appeals court overturned the conviction, saying Lewis’ rights were violated when he wasn’t allowed to represent himself after the trial started. (AP)
