About the Book
At 2:15 a.m. on November 2, 1984, a 52-year-old grandmother in pink cotton pajamas was executed by lethal injection at Central Prison, Raleigh — the first woman executed in America since 1962.Velma Barfield: Sunday-school teacher, grade mother, "Mama Margie" on death row. Also: seven deaths in nine years — her mother Lillie (Dec 30 1974), Montgomery Edwards 94 (Jan 29 1977) and Dollie Edwards 84 (Mar 1 1977), John Henry Lee 80 (Jun 4 1977), fiancé Stuart Taylor 56 (Feb 3 1978) — all certified as "gastroenteritis."20 chapters, ~25k words, all real names/dates verified against NCpedia, UNC Libraries, Washington Post Nov 2 1984, Murderpedia, and Jerry Bledsoe's Death Sentence. No invented characters. Where records conflict (birth Oct 23 vs Oct 29 1932 / Eastover NC vs SC / Jennings Barfield / abuse claims), the book states the doubt honestly.By Bradley Julies.
