13 November, 1996. A Wednesday, not a Friday, but still not so lucky for Larry Lonchar. He was electrocuted just after midnight, as I watched.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Larry\u2019s bipolar rollercoaster had taken in several crests and troughs. When he was depressed, he would periodically drop his appeals and ask to die. Each time the good state of Georgia would cut off his antidepressants, keen that he should follow through. We had come within 40 minutes of his execution four times \u2013 once within 58 seconds \u2013 before we got a stay. Each time he had been terrified, as the electric chair loomed closer.<\/p>\n

This was the fifth time. In the last year, Larry had become a Christian.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s got no fear for me now, Clive,\u201d he said. \u201cYou think about dying on the cross. Days of suffering, dying from thirst. At least it\u2019ll be over in a few minutes. I can deal with it.\u201d I almost believed him.<\/p>\n

I had written up voluminous pleadings that we could file if only he would authorise it. Meanwhile I had to be at the prison by 6pm in case Larry changed his mind. Emily and I pulled into a truckstop on the way there. We got him on the phone. \u201cHow\u2019re you doing, Larry?\u201d I asked, the banal American greeting. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you just go ahead and file that thing you\u2019ve been working on, Clive,\u201d he said. \u201cYou got my permission.\u201d<\/p>\n

I was elated to be fighting again. I quickly thanked him and passed the phone to Emily. I went to another phone to get the attorney general and Judge Camp on the line. Soon we were having an argument, and I was struggling for Larry\u2019s life from a dimly lit bank of telephones in a petrol station, lowering my voice as truckers passed by on their way to the toilet.<\/p>\n

When we drove on, Emily recited her conversation with Larry. \u201cWhat\u2019d Clive look like when I told him he could do it?\u201d had been Larry\u2019s first question. Emily had cautiously explained how happy I had been to ride into battle. \u201cGood. That\u2019s good.\u201d She could see his smile at the other end of the telephone. \u201cI planned it this way. I know it\u2019s too late now, but it\u2019s kinda like saying thank you, I guess.\u201d He was right. I still had the law on Larry\u2019s side, and had the better final argument, but Larry had vacillated once too often. In less than an hour, the 13 judges that stood between Larry and death did not pause in denying his final appeal.<\/p>\n

I reached the prison in time to have a final conversation with Larry on the telephone. \u201cWell, Clive, you have been a friend,\u201d Larry said, his voice flat, but almost ethereally calm. I could feel him choosing his words, a final speech he wanted to make. \u201cYou know, you stuck by me. And I\u2019m real grateful for it. I couldn\u2019t have dealt with this last year, the year before. Back then, I was afraid. I\u2019m not afraid now. Not at all. I\u2019m ready for it. And that\u2019s thanks to you. Even before I learned I was worth something, even before I learned that from Jesus, you let me know you thought so. Maybe it\u2019s been frustrating for you, but you helped me till I was ready. I want you there tonight, if you can. \u2019Cos you\u2019ve been my friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was through. My throat felt as if I was being strangled. I stared at the yellow prison wall in front of me. It was my turn to look up at the ceiling, the white tiles. \u201cI\u2019ll be there for you, Larry. I wouldn\u2019t be anywhere else.\u201d I couldn\u2019t manage anything else. \u201cSee ya then,\u201d said Larry. \u201cBye for now.\u201d<\/p>\n

An hour later I was in a witness chair when the guards brought Larry into the death chamber and set about strapping him in. He managed to wave to me with the fingers of his left hand. He was calm. I had feared his fear more than anything else. Warden Turpin asked Larry if he had any last words. It was Turpin\u2019s first execution, and he was behaving like it was an exam. Larry hesitated. \u201cYes,\u201d he said, with only a slight tremor in his voice. He looked up to the ceiling. \u201cLord, forgive them, for they know not what they do.\u201d There were 33 witnesses there with me. They seemed to look at their feet in unison.<\/p>\n

Twelve minutes later, Larry was dead. I stopped watching when they pulled the leather mask over his face. My job was done. I closed my eyes in my hands, and waited for it to be over.<\/p>\n

Larry had always been a gambler. He told me he\u2019d fix the funding of our charity for good from heaven. I\u2019d laughed at him, but a primordial moment made me play Larry\u2019s numbers in the lottery the following week. Not even one came up.<\/p>\n

I have watched while six of my clients died: two in the gas chamber, two in the electric chair, and two on the gurney.<\/strong> Each time, I have come out, looked up at the stars and wondered how such barbarism could ever make the world a safer or more civilised place.<\/p>\n
