Atkins MR/ID death penalty court decision: Hill v Ohio (2011)

A fresh Atkins decision to be added to the Atkins court decision blogroll (Hill v Ohio, 2011) without major commentary. Thanks to Kevin Foley for sending this to me.

It has been pointed out to me that one obvious failing was the court simply reported the FSIQ scores, without regard to what test was given and how old the test might have been. At this stage of the game one would think that the courts would be providing this very basic information in recorded decisions.

Atkins MR/ID death penalty decision: Lewis v Ohio (2010)

Lewis v Ohio (2010) is being added to the Court Decisions blogroll. The opinion concluded that, "the court finds that Defendant has proven, by a preponderance of the evidence, that he is intellectually disabled or mentally retarded. Thus, a sentence of death may not be imposed on Defendant pursuant to the Eighth Amendment"

Of notable interest was the courts acceptance of a Flynn effect adjustment to IQ scores.

Thanks again to Kevin Foley for sending me a copy of this decision.

Potential conflict of interest: I have professional relations with two of the defense experts--Dr. Stephen Greenspan (listed as an expert at the ICDP blog) and Dr. Woods (we both serve on an AAIDD Atkins committee, together with Dr. Greenspan).
