  • Notes the Writing Is on the Wall: How the Briseno Factors Create an Unacceptable Risk of Executing Persons with Intellectual Disability*
    CROWELL.TOPRINTER (DO NOT DELETE) 2/29/2016 3:07 PM Notes The Writing Is on the Wall: How the Briseno Factors Create an Unacceptable Risk of Executing Persons * with Intellectual Disability I. Introduction In 2002, the Supreme Court held in Atkins v. Virginia1 that the execution of intellectually disabled people is cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment.2 When Atkins was decided, Texas did not have a statute governing how intellectual disability claims should proceed in the capital context, so Texas’s highest criminal court, the Court of Criminal Appeals (CCA), created the legal framework to govern these claims.3 Notably, the CCA did more than create procedural rules to govern Atkins claims; citing concerns about whether Texans believe that all intellectually disabled capital offenders should be exempted from the death penalty, the CCA created a distinctive and restrictive approach to determining intellectual disability. Recently though, in Hall v. Florida,4 the Supreme Court held a Florida practice unconstitutional because it was restrictive and diverged from professional norms.5 This Note serves as a comprehensive evaluation of Texas’s approach in theory and practice, highlighting its departure from Atkins and Hall and the important policy objectives that guided those decisions. * I would like to thank Professor Jordan Steiker—my guide through law school—for all of the support and advice these last few years, not to mention the idea for, and countless edits of, this Note. I would also like to thank my mothers for perpetually encouraging me to fight for justice, all the while making sure my grammar was on point.
