Acknowledging that it sounded, “truly bizarre,” Robert J. Moody would say during his trial that, cocaine-pushing space aliens took control of his body and forced him to murder Michelle Malone, a friend, and Patricia Magda, a neighbor, in November 1993 to prove that aliens existed. The aliens told him that their mission required that he be convicted and sentenced to die but that he would survive a lethal injection, he testified Wednesday.
"After being declared dead, the extrasensory biological entities will bring me back to life to speak through me," he further insisted that his involvement in these crimes was involuntary. Space aliens were in control of his body, and he was merely an unconscious observer of the murders.
