I am watching the US Supreme Court to see if they will stay an Execution set for Wed for a mentally ill man on Texas Death Row for 19 years. At his trial, he represented himself, a guilty verdict rendered, and a death sentence given. While on death row this inmate has not been treated for his schizophrenia if this man with Schizophrenia is executed a precedent will be set in the US regarding execution of the mentally ill. I was reading the 8th Amendment of the US Constitution Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Author Marcette Fochier
