This is absolutely disgusting…
A Texas man convicted in the shooting death of a 21-year-old man in 1992 was executed Tuesday in Huntsville, officials said.
Marvin Wilson was pronounced dead at 6:27 p.m. (7:27 p.m. ET), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice said.
Wilson’s IQ had been measured at 61, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, which opposed the execution.
In an online posting, the ACLU said Wilson, 54, had been declared “intellectually disabled” by a court-appointed neuropsychologist.
Edward Marshall, a Texas assistant attorney general, said records showed that Wilson habitually gave less than full effort (on the testing) and “was manipulative and deceitful when it suited his interest,” and that the state considered his ability to show personal independence and social responsibility in making its determinations.
“Considering Wilson’s drug-dealing, street-gambler, criminal lifestyle since an early age, he was obviously competent at managing money, and not having a 9-to-5 job is no critical failure,” Marshall said. “Wilson created schemes using a decoy to screen his thefts, hustled for jobs in the community, and orchestrated the execution of the snitch, demonstrating inventiveness, drive and leadership.”
Really, you expect us to believe a Texas law enforcement agent? Their only motives are to execute as many black people as possible.
I have an autistic son who is mentally 4 years old. He is 6’6″ and 300 lbs. Thank God I do not live in this horrid state of Texas. Save the unborn but kill them AFTER they are born. What wonderful fake Christians.
Precisely.
