A 2002 Supreme Court ruling allowed states to set their own definitions of mental retardation to decide who meets the criteria for execution. Instead of adopting the Supreme Courts accepted clinical standards for mental retardation, Texas has granted heavy leeway to psychologist evaluations. Now one psychologist, George Denkowski, is facing scrutiny over methods that critics say unfairly send mentally retarded prisoners to death row. For more, we go to a report from Renée Feltz for the Texas Observer.

they are RETARDS, the world is better off with out them
retards are the worst criminals, because they cant tell right from wrong
and that guy is feigning retardation to get off the hook, I'm sure of that. he wasn't merciful to the clerk he killed, why should Texas spare him????

Instead of trying to decide if someone's retarded and using that for an excuse...maybe they should try to consider whether the person knew they were doing something wrong. What do you think the chances are, that "Daniel" knew that if he shot that man...it would cause great pain to that man and that man would die? What do you think the chances are that he also knew that it would be wrong to do that? Sorry Daniel...in my court you would be out of gas.
