Patrick Lane Moody, 39, was executed by lethal injection March 17, 2006 at 2:19 a.m. at Central Prison in Raleigh, North Carolina's death chamber for the September 16, 1994 murder of his girlfriend's husband, Donnie Ray Robbins, 34.
Moody conspired with his girlfriend, Wanda Robbins, to kill her husband so the pair could split a $5,000 insurance policy. On Sept. 16, 1994, Moody pretended to be interested in purchasing a car owned by Donnie Robbins and shot him in the back of the head. At 5:30 a.m. on the day after the murder, Wanda Robbins called the life insurance company seeking payment. Wanda Robbins was sentenced to life in prison plus 65 years after she pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and insurance fraud. This was not the first time that Moody had plotted with a woman to kill somebody. He spent five years in a Florida prison for a similar scheme that failed. Moody interrupted his murder trial in 1995 to plead guilty to the slaying of Robbins.
