Mac Lewis Incident Detail

Tony Bennett said, "After 18 months of absolute hell, today is the first day of justice for our beautiful daughter, their mom, our two grandchildren, and (their friend) who endured this tragedy," according to the Jefferson News and Tribune. No child should ever experience having their mother taken away from them in the same way that Lizzie did (from her children)." Furthermore, no child should witness such in front of their eyes.

The fatal shooting took place inside the house Mac and Elizabeth Lewis lived with the victim's daughter, according to a report from Louisville, Kentucky-based Fox station WDRB. The daughter and her friend, who is 10 years old, were both inside the house at the time of the occurrence. Elizabeth Lewis was shot in the right side of her face, just below her eye, and the bullet exited out the back of her skull, according to the results of a subsequent autopsy.

She also had many injuries from bullets grazing her, in addition to three other gunshot wounds with entry and exit holes, according to the News & Tribune.Lewis fatally shot his wife four times before firing at least one shot at the victim's head.

The victim's daughter was allegedly distraught and covered in her mother's blood when police arrived on the scene. Prosecutors played a piece of the 911 call made by Elizabeth Bennett's daughter after she saw her mother shot and killed by her Lewis during the trial. The toddler was heard saying to the Clark County emergency dispatcher, "My stepdad just killed my mom," according to the News & Tribune.Lewis' defense lawyer reportedly testified that Lewis carried the gun on him because he intended to kill himself after learning that his wife sought a divorce.
