Abstract:

During the week that the state of North Carolina plans to carry out an execution, the Independent will carry a profile of the condemned person. Ernest McCarver was scheduled to die Friday, March 2, at 2 A.M., but was granted a stay by Superior Court Judge Leon Standack. McCarver is retarded, and there is growing public opposition to executing retarded convicts.
