I've learned rapidly learned that Atkins cases involve a variety of complex psychological and measurement issues. Last night I read a 2006 report by the APA DIV 33 ad hoc committee on mental retardation and the death penalty that provided an extensive list of issues. I only hope the IDCP blog can assist with some of these issues.
