    William Henry Raines - North Carolina Death Row


    William Henry Raines


    Facts of the Crime:

    The Holder family took in Raines when he was nine years old, after Raines was abandoned by his mother and his father died. Philip Holder and Rains had a brotherly relationship. Years later, after Raines served a prison sentence, Phillip Holder and his wife, Pam Holder, gave Raines a place to live. Raines stole the Holders’ credit card and police caught Raines trying to use the credit card. The Holders refused to press charges and instead asked Raines to move out of the house. On December 11, 2002, Raines responded by beating Phillip and Pam Holders with a wrench and shooting them. During the penalty phase, the defense presented evidence that Raines had a personality disorder as a result of early childhood abuse and adult drug abuse. The prosecution offered evidence that Raines did not kill the Holders as a result of a personality disorder but instead needed money to buy crack cocaine.
