The low IQ stuff is bogus:...

Classically, the test for "smart enough to be executed" was "If you're not smart enough to understand that you're about to die, and you need to make your peace with your Maker", you're not smart enough to be executed.

This woman seems to be at least that smart.

Ricky Rector was not.

“I love it. Borderline retarded (funny how it seems 99% of all murderers are “borderline retarded”)...”

She was able to think this through to the point of riffling her dying husband’s pocket.

That said, from her photo, she looks like she has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. ~Broad nose, widely spaced eyes, facial features.

God bless the Commonwealth. Virginia leads the nation in executions per capita. But by Virginia standards, I am surprised they waited eight years before pulling the switch. It usually doesn’t take this long.

Her IQ has been measured “as low” as 70.

Yep, by a biased libtard looking to get a low score.

She plotted and saw to it the crime was carried out.

"...advocates have set up a website, SaveTeresaLewis.org, listing reasons why Lewis' life should be spared. They cite her apparently strong Christian faith, and how she's said to calm fellow prisoners by singing country gospel songs that echo across their prison cells."

Buy the other prisoners a radio and then introduce Inmate Lewis to Mr. Needle.

The voter rolls are full of people of borderline intellingence; indeed the Democrats seek them out. Where is the hue and cry that that be stopped?

Sounds like her IQ was high enough to deliberately plan her husband’s murder. I think she is smart enough to deserve the death penalty.

Virginia hasn’t executed a woman in 98 years? How OLD is that WOMAN?

Teresa Lewis, a 41-year-old grandmother with such a low IQ that she's classified as borderline mentally retarded...

The SCOTUS has ruled that "retarded" individuals cannot be executed.I'll wager that this one isn't even though it sure sounds like she deserves it.

They were bitching on TV about how her IQ is 72 “just 2 points above the level at which they can’t execute a person”. So, OK, if we set the bar at 72 will you guys be OK with that? Or when somebody comes along at 74 are we gonna get the same song and dance all over again? 60 or 70 executions from now, it’ll be illegal to execute anyone with an IQ under 200. D’oh!
