Prosecutors in New Jersey say James Lewis fatally shot a man back on September 18 during a carjacking in the community of East Orange. They say he tied up the victim’s girlfriend and stole the vehicle with her in it, before crashing a short time later.
Lewis was previously convicted of homicide, robbery and possession of a weapon in a 1989 case. He was sentenced to 40 years in prison, but Sheriff Grady Judd pointed out that Lewis only served 30 years in combined jail and prison time.
"He spent only 30 years in prison when he was sentenced to 40 years in prison for homicide, robbery, and possession of a weapon. In less than two years of being released early, he murdered again," Judd said.
Lewis now faces fresh charges including murder, kidnapping, and carjacking.
