“They submitted evidence of IQ test scores of 70 and 75, as well as assessments by experts.”
All is relative. A 70 IQ earns you genius status in prison. Thus, he is smart enough to die.

The cruel and unusual punishment is to the taxpayer who has to bear the cost of keeping these monsters alive, and fattening the purse of their lawyers, for decades.

You know, we keep executing criminals and potential criminals might just decide not to do whatever it is that would get them the same result. I Death Penalty! I'm already starting to feel safer.

The Eighth Amendment bans executing people with such impairments as cruel and usual punishment The Eighth Amendment Prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, but it does not define what constitutes cruel and unusual. It is up to the courts to determine if a punishment falls under the Eight Amendment. As the appellate process has determined that the death penalty is appropriate, that determination has been made.

He was a 18 wheel truck driver. You have to study, take exam to get CDL to drive a semi. His intelligence level didn’t prevent him from passing the exam. I have a relative who is 40 and he knows right from wrong and his IQ is 69. So not buying he doesn’t understand.

Spot on! And nobody much ever brings up that very valid point. Every murderer executed proves that the state actually values the lives of their innocent.

So let me get this straight, the guy has a 70 IQ, which they claim makes him so mentally impaired he cannot be considered to be a competent, functional adult, but yet the state and or feds still gave him a CDL which enabled him to endanger thousands of people’s lives by driving an 18 wheeler?

His attorneys said Bourgeois’ execution would be unconstitutional because he is intellectually disabled and can't understand his punishment. They submitted evidence of IQ test scores of 70 and 75, as well as assessments by experts. That "evidence" is about as valid as Dementia Joe’s “votes” in WI MI PA and GA.
In other words, they are fake, fraudulent and made up sh*t.

If he could take the CDL Test and pass, he can take the needle and pass.....................

It took UPI seven paragraphs to tell us what this guy did to receive the death penalty.
media. Kill babies....fine
media. Execute someone for heinous crimes.....let’s tell you all about why we don’t like it.
For the record, I am neither an abortion proponent nor a death penalty proponent. I like the idea of a terrible person being incarcerated to life. But, the media can help giving you their opinion embedded in the story.
To: Red Badger
I passed the CDL test...and my IQ is 65.
To: Red Badger
His attorneys said Bourgeois' execution would be unconstitutional because he is intellectually disabled and can't understand his punishment. I have never understood this. No, he doesn't understand his punishment just like he didn't understand that he was a murderous bastard. That makes him all the more dangerous.
