From William Charles Lewis’ appeal:

William Charles Lewis pled guilty to all 26 counts of an indictment which included two counts of malice murder after the State had given notice of its intent to seek the death penalty.1  At a bench trial in the sentencing phase, the State showed that when Cynthia Floyd Rolle was killed on March 1, 2001, a piece of paper was found with “Jack” written with a highlighter.   On April 8, 2001, when Roger Orr was shot while standing at his door, a note was found with “Jack” written on the back with a highlighter.   Later the same day, when Antonio Stepney was fatally shot, a piece of paper with the name “Jack” on it was found near Stepney’s car.   On April 12, 2001, a bullet was fired into a home occupied by Barbara and Beulah Northern and a note was found nearby with “Jack” written on the back with a highlighter.   Shell casings from every scene other than Rolle’s home were found to be from the same gun.   Rosa Lewis, Lewis’s former wife and a colleague of Rolle, was shot four times on April 24, 2001, and was severely injured.   Officers who went to Lewis’s home to inform him of the shooting noticed a yellow highlighter and a black marker in Lewis’s bedroom.   In a letter to Ms. Lewis dated July 30, 2001, which she identified as being in Lewis’s handwriting, and the envelope of which was shown to have Lewis’s DNA from saliva, the writer admitted shooting Rolle to cause Ms. Lewis pain.
