A judge has ruled that prosecutors cannot use much of the information investigators obtained from interviews with an Arkansas man charged in the death of a central Arkansas real estate agent.
Pulaski County Circuit Court Judge Herb Wright issued an order late Wednesday saying most of the statements Arron Lewis made to investigators would not be allowed at trial. Lewis is charged with kidnapping and capital murder in the 2014 disappearance of Beverly Carter.
Lewis' attorneys had asked that his statements be suppressed because he asked for an attorney shortly after he was arrested but didn't have one present. Wright agreed, saying in his order that most of the statements were inadmissible. He said he would allow a ransom recording of Carter telling her husband not call to police to be presented.
