I'll review this one and I hope to have my first comments soon. I'm just getting started with GAN reviewing so please let me know if you have the impression that some of my comments miss their mark.
Z1720 was kind enough to agree to review my review to make sure it doesn't go off-track.

I think the article is already pretty close to a pass. There are several minor issues with the prose and two questions about the accuracy of some claims. I have listed a few ideas about additional facts that could be included in the article.
He then attended the Pembroke State University in Pembroke, North Carolina, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry in 1966.: I think there should be no "the" before "Pembroke State University". Do we need to repeat that it is in Pembroke or can we just say "He then attended Pembroke State University in North Carolina, graduating with..."?
After graduating from law school in 1976, he became an attorney for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's office of general counsel in Washington, D.C..: sentences shouldn't end in a double period even for abreviations
In that capacity he mostly compiled briefs on the commission's behalf,...: comma after "capacity".
Pierce refused, and over the course of February and March it was alleged that...: comma after March
On the morning March 26, 1988, just a few weeks before the election...: add "of" after "morning"
Pierce's family and many members of the Lumbee community doubted investigators' conclusions.: add "the" before "investigators'"
A crime scene photo also showed that the shotgun which had killed Goins sitting in his lap with its breech open.: there is something wrong with this sentence. What about "A crime scene photo also showed that the shotgun used to shoot Goins was laying in his lap with its breech open".
As for Goines, the state medical examiner and state investigators disagreed...: replace "Goines" with "Goins".
In 1969 he became a chemist in the U.S. Navy Shipyard in Norfolk, Virginia, where he performed similar work.: comma after 1969
Joe Freeman Britt, the county's white district attorney who was known for pushing for death sentences in criminal trials, declared himself a candidate for the office in the 1988 Democratic primary.: the explanatory clause is a little bit too long for my taste. What about "Joe Freeman Britt, the county's white district attorney, was known for pushing for death sentences in criminal trials and declared himself a candidate for the office in the 1988 Democratic primary."
The following day a campaign worker told him that...: comma after "day"
A crowd of approximately 200 Lumbee gathered at the scene, and Stone asked for their help in providing information about the killing.: no comma after "scene"
A few days later he announced that investigators had...: comma after "later"
No gunshot residue was found on his hands, and the autopsy did not conclude that he had fired the gun himself.[15]: no comma after "hands"
To bring more racial balance to the court system, the General Assembly created another judgeship in the county, and the governor appointed Lumbee attorney Dexter Brooks,...: no comma after "county"
Julian Pierce was born in Hoke County, North Carolina on January 2, 1946, to John S. Pierce and Mary J. Pierce,[1]: supported by ref 1
A Lumbee Indian,[2]: supported by ref 2
He then attended the Pembroke State University in Pembroke, North Carolina, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry in 1966.[1]: supported by ref 1. However, I'm a little confused here: according to our Wikipedia article, it was a college in 1966 and only became a university in 1969 but ref 1 explicitly says "Pembroke State University". Do you know something about this?
As for Goines, the state medical examiner and state investigators disagreed on whether he shot himself through the mouth or the side of the head. No gunshot residue was found on his hands, and the autopsy did not conclude that he had fired the gun himself.[15]: supported by ref 15
A crime scene photo also showed that the shotgun which had killed Goins sitting in his lap with its breech open.: supported by ref 4
The petition was denied due to language in the Lumbee Act of 1956. The petitioners then proposed a recognition bill for Congress to adopt, but it failed due to opposition from the Department of the Interior and from other recognized tribes.[2]: supported by ref 2. The wording is close to the one used in the source but I don't think it violated WP:PARAPHRASE.
Pierce refused, and over the course of February and March it was alleged that Stone attempted to employ bribery and blackmail against Pierce.[13]: supported by ref 13
Pierce declined to do so, explaining, "If it happens then it happens—they can kill me but they can't eat me."[13]: supported by ref 13
n 1990 Chavis' murder trial was canceled after key witnesses for the prosecution refused to testify, and Chavis entered an Alford plea to accessory to murder after the fact.[4]supported by ref 4

In that capacity he mostly compiled briefs...: I meant that there should be a comma after "capacity" since it is an introductory phrase that could be removed. But this is not an important point and there may be exceptions to this rule so feel free to leave it if your intuition tells you to. One more missing comma I spotted:
In 1981 he served as counsel for residents...: comma missing after "1981". Otherwise, the article looks fine to me. I've already notified Z1720 and I wanted to wait for his feedback before I let it pass. Phlsph7 ( talk) 09:20, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
