A Gary, Ind., man was sentenced Monday to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the 2011 murder and sexual assault of a Griffith, Ind., woman who gave a stranger a ride home from a restaurant.
Robert Lewis III, 41, showed no reaction as Lake Superior Court Judge Diane Ross Boswell pronounced the sentence and did not speak during the hearing.
Boswell found that the state had proven the aggravator outlined in law — that Lewis intentionally killed Jennifer Kocsis while committing or attempting to commit criminal deviate conduct. The judge specifically rejected a mitigating factor offered by defense attorney T. Edward Page — that Lewis was so intoxicated he couldn’t appreciate the criminality of his conduct on the night of the murder.
Deputy prosecutor Catherine Breitweiser-Hurst, who presented evidence in the case with deputy prosecutor Reginald Marcus, argued that the injuries Kocsis sustained — multiple blunt-force trauma and manual strangulation — as well as a broken clavicle and broken ribs, showed the intentional nature of the killing. Evidence presented during the 10-day trial showed a bloody shoe print on Kocsis’ arm and blood spatter radiating upward from Kocsis’ head.
