New York Times Editorial last year by Jesse Wegman, part of it copied below:All of this happened after Mr. Hill’s lawyers filed a last-ditch appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court last week, arguing that it would be unconstitutional to execute their client under the court’s holding in Atkins v. Virginia, which banned the execution of people with severe intellectual disabilities. Mr. Hill has an I.Q. of 70, and all seven experts who have examined Mr. Hill agree that he’s intellectually disabled.Atkins v. Virginia… wonder if Virginia Governor Kaine read that decision before signing the order for the state murder of Eddie Bell on 19 February A.D. 2009. Bell had an IQ of 68.
