NY Times 4/2 Georgia Executes Warren Lee for Murder
This article struck me because of Lee's lawyer's comment that this execution will leave a moral stain on Georgia. Execution has long been a debated topic and this case was unique because of a special law regarding disabilities. The law was that in order to be qualified as mentally inept you have to have an IQ of 71 or lower. Lee had one in the 90's, therefore, when his lawyer argued he was mentally handicapped it was not enough to save him from the death penalty.
