They did it. Last evening, Mississippi executed Earl Berry despite evidence that he was mentally retarded.
Of course, the Supreme Court banned the execution of mentally retarded persons in 2002, so how could this happen?
A technicality!
The Mississippi Supreme Court decided that Berry's former lawyers didn't file the evidence in a timely manner. And the U.S. Supreme Court denied the appeal.
This is how our so-called "justice" system works.
Oh, please! If you can plan a terrible crime, carry it out, and then go to great lengths to dispose of evidence, you are not mentally retarded. Additionally, the man showed absolutely no remorse.
