This violates the 14th Amendment of equal protection under the law. This essentially creates two separate systems of justice, one for retards and one for everyone else. Can someone explain how the HELL it makes sense that you can execute a genius but not a retard? What kind of insane backwards world are we living in. A retard that commits several murders is like a rabid animal that needs to be put down. Not killed with malice but merely removed from society so they can no longer murder others.

I have this same concern. What about people of average intelligence with some emotional/mental health problem (Andrea Yates). Why should intelligence be the determining factor?
