A terminally ill death row inmate from North Carolina who wanted to be released from prison to a hospice died in the prison hospital last week. Edward Lemons, 34, was given two death sentences for the 1994 murders of two Goldsboro residents. His attorneys asked Gov. Mike Easley and correction officials either to grant clemency and release Lemons or allow him to be sent to a hospice for life-ending care. Both requests were refused last week, and Lemons died. Lemons was an HIV-positive hemophiliac who suffered from cirrhosis, hepatitis C and possibly liver cancer, his attorneys said. The hemophilia made him unable to receive treatment for the other illnesses. |
