NC Contested Execution Carrried Out

I posted the other day about the conflict between NC law and medical ethics. In the story was mention of Patrick Moody, who was convicted for killing his lover's husband at her request. He was trying to use the agrument that NC's lethal injection might violate his constitutional rights and cause him some pain. This is the track that lawyers are now using with some succes to get thier clients off death roll. But that crap didn't work here in NC like it did in CA. Moody was the 41st inmate executed in NC since the death penality was restored in the late '70s.
