The Supreme Court is set to review the case of Freddie Lee Hall, a mentally retarded man in Florida who was sentenced to death for participating in a rape, robbery, and two murders. They tackle two main questions: How high an IQ should be necessary for capital punishment? And is IQ measurement even precise enough to be used in cases like this?

The real answer to ethical quandaries like this is: the death penalty should be abolished. That would render these discussions moot. The death penalty, however, is not going to be abolished by the Supreme Court in the case of Freddie Lee Hall. What could happen, though, is an incremental step towards decency.
