The StandDown Texas Project just made a post indicating that after Thanksgiving the first person to possibly be executed may be mentally retarded (intellectual disability). The initial ICDP post re: Woods v Texas (plus links to relevant court decisions) can be viewed by clicking here. As one can surmise from my initial post, the Woods case contains a quagmire of psychometric issues.
The StandDown report includes a link to a Texas newspaper that has posted a brief online interview with Woods.
