Convicted murderer Arron Lewis' attorney has filed a notice of appeal after his client was found guilty earlier this year in the 2014 slaying of Realtor Beverly Carter.
The notice of appeal to the Arkansas Supreme Court from attorney Bill James was filed Thursday morning in Pulaski County Circuit Court.
After 35-year-old Lewis was found guilty Jan. 15 of capital murder and kidnapping, he had 30 days to appeal the sentence.
Nine women and three men on the jury deliberated for an hour before finding Lewis guilty on the charges. He was sentenced to two life terms in jail, which were ordered by Circuit Judge Herb Wright to be served back to back.
Carter disappeared in September 2014 while showing a house in Scott. Her body was found four days after her disappearance buried in a shallow grave behind a concrete plant near Cabot.
