Lawrence, R.C.

Abstract:

Lawrence looks back over his almost fifty years of practicing law. One area in which he did not enjoy practicing was criminal law, which often involved capital crimes. Of the one hundred capital cases in which he represented the accused, ninety-nine escaped hanging. His last capital case was the last hanging in the state. On his next case, North Carolina had switched to the electric chair for executions, and he represented the first person to be electrocuted in the state.
