The
Court case questions death penalty for mentally retarded defendants
In 1996 a man was enlisted for beer money and Atkins argues his IQ of 59 and lack of independent living or work. Civil liberties leaders say the decision shows growing concern over applying the death penalty to cognitively impaired individuals and the need for fair trial standards amid DNA exonerations and poor representation. The ruling limits the issue to mentally retarded murder defendants and does not settle capital punishment's constitutional reach.
