Crime

He was convicted of Premeditated 1st Degree Murder, committed on 02/06/83. On 02/06/83, the body of 75-year-old Lima Smith was discovered in the bedroom of her home. Smith’s body was found by her brother, who became worried about her when she failed to answer the door. Smith had been stabbed multiple times in her face and neck and had been sexually assaulted.

Charles Westberry, a witness for the State, testified that, on the morning of 02/06/83, Joel Wright came to his home and confessed to killing Smith. Wright acknowledged that he entered her home through an open window with the intention of stealing money from her purse.

Wright admitted to killing her because she saw him in the hallway and could identify him. Wright indicated that he did not want to go back to prison. Wright then asked Westberry to provide an alibi for him. Several weeks later, when Westberry informed his wife of the circumstances, she notified the police.

Police reports indicated that Wright’s fingerprint was lifted from inside Smith’s home. Evidence was also introduced that Wright had burglarized Smith’s home on a previous occasion, having gained access to the house through an open window.
