closeRALEIGH — Fifteen people were arrested Thursday night while protesting the execution of condemned killer Patrick Moody, who died by lethal injection early Friday morning.
The 15 protesters were arrested while trying to cross the line of officers guarding the entrance to Central Prison, where death row and the execution chamber are located. They were all charged with second-degree trespass and will have April 20 court appearances.
Moody, 39, was sentenced to death for the 1994 shooting of his girlfriend's husband, Donnie Robbins, of Thomasville. Moody and his girlfriend planned to share the proceeds from a $5,000 insurance policy.
