Are you dumb enough to not be executed?

Maybe not any more? Has its perks. Justices strike down Florida's IQ rule for executions - CNN.com

The court struck down the state's requirement that a baseline "threshold" IQ score of 70 must be established before a capital prisoner can present additional evidence supporting claims of a disability.

Damn, I've been losing at Jeopardy all these years, just to keep that defense in my pocket.

A lot of things could influence an IQ test. Autism, ADHD, drugs, alcohol, schizophrenia, you name it.

quote from the article:



"The 21-year-old Leesburg resident was seven months pregnant. She was abducted from a grocery store, raped, shot to death, and her body dragged into the woods.
Later that evening, Hall and his accomplice were involved in a separate shooting death of a sheriff's deputy."




Seems he was intelligent enough to figure out how to abduct her, how to rape her and then how to load and use a gun to shoot her. Following, he exhibited the necessary IQ to load and aim a gun at a sheriff's deputy.


What this decision represents is more "I was incapable of fully understanding what I did was wrong therefore I deserve a break" BS.
