Elton McLaughlin and an accomplice, Eddie Carson Robinson, were sentenced to death in 1985 for killing James Worley as part of a murder-for-hire plot for Sheila Worley, James' wife. McLaughlin and Robinson later killed Sheila Worley and her five year-old daughter to prevent them from talking to the police. After the North Carolina Supreme Court vacated his original death sentence, McLaughlin was resentenced to death in 1993. He was removed from death row in 2006 following a judge's ruling that he was mentally disabled, and therefore ineligible for the death penalty.
