“Even when Robinson served time in state prison in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the children visited him and their relationship remained strong. All of Robinson’s children grew to be productive and contributing members of their communities.” Meanwhile, Nancy and John were still married when John lured young women and sometimes made them sign “slave contracts.”

John Edward Robinson confessed to five homicides in Missouri as part of a plea bargain to receive multiple life sentences without the possibility of parole and avoid more death sentences. Nancy Robinson testified on her husband’s behalf at his trial. Per an appeal filed in his case, John Robinson was very close to his family.

“Robinson was also involved in the lives of his grandchildren,” the appeal said. “Robinson’s youngest daughter, Christy, had a daughter and younger son. Robinson was involved in the lives of both of Christy’s children and babysat them on a regular basis while their parents were at work.” John “shared a particularly close relationship with Christy’s daughter, who spent time with Robinson every day.”

John Robinson’s arrest affected Christy “the most because she viewed Robinson as a role model or idol. She became so upset that the family arranged special contact visits, with the approval of sheriff’s department personnel, while Robinson was in jail awaiting trial. Christy’s daughter continued to talk to Robinson by phone during trial.”

“Nancy testified that the prospect of Robinson’s execution has had a devastating impact on their entire family, the appeal said. “If Robinson were sentenced to life imprisonment, Nancy said, the family would continue to maintain a relationship with him. Nancy, in particular, always stood by Robinson. She testified on his behalf when he was convicted of fraud in Johnson County in 1986.”

Nancy Robinson stayed with her husband John Edward Robinson even after his theft conviction in Missouri and when he went back to prison after his probation was revoked.
