Gregory Lewis, left, and accomplice Vaughn Felix.

Imagine the nerve of this white lad, refusing to get into a car with these two fine coloreds.

It sounds to me like he was infected by a particularly virulent strain of skin-hatred.

WFMZ:

Gregory Lewis, who prosecutors said was an accomplice during a cell phone store robbery turned homicide in 2016, has been found guilty on 56 charges.

Jurors in Northampton County had heard closing arguments Friday in the robbery and homicide trial.

His accomplice, Vaughn Felix, will spend life in prison, and the jury deliberated Lewis’ fate after more than a week of trial.

During the case, prosecutors told jurors Lewis and Felix planned on kidnapping Michael Davis, a Forks Township Verizon store employee, so they could use him to rob the store later. But, things didn’t go according to plan.

Davis, 25, wouldn’t get in the car with the men.

Felix admitted to shooting him in the face before both men fled.

Felix opened up about what happened as part of his plea deal with prosecutors. The deal takes the death penalty off the table for him.

Felix also testified that he and Lewis robbed other cell phone stores.

Lewis, however, did not take the stand in his defense. He’s pleading not guilty. If convicted, he could face life in prison without parole.

Michael Davis.

Dis nigga and his homie be wanting dem sail foams, and they was gonna get dem sail foams.

Lehigh Valley Live:

Weeks dragged into months after the murder of Michael Davis. A year passed and no one was charged with killing the 25-year-old Palmer Township man.

It took 10 law enforcement agencies working together to piece together the criminal conspiracy that allegedly led to the cellphone store worker’s death and the robberies of multiple stores.

Now, more than two years after Davis’ killing, one of the alleged perpetrators in the scheme will stand trial.

Jury selection is slated for Monday in the trial of Gregory Lewis, 28, of Wilson Borough. He and Vaughn-Darrius Felix, 28, of Easton, allegedly killed Davis on Nov. 21, 2016.

They’re also charged with kidnapping Verizon store manager Michael DeRose on Nov. 22, 2015. The crimes were in furtherance of a scheme to rob cellphone stores and sell the ill-gotten goods.

…

Lewis is charged with participating in robberies of cellphone stores in Bethlehem Township, Wind Gap and South Whitehall Township and a jewelry store in Easton. He’s not charged with helping rob the Forks Township store where Davis and DeRose worked.
