Hill was in prison for the 1986 shooting death his 18-year-old girlfriend when he used a nail-studded board to beat Handspike. At the time of the 1990 attack, Handspike was also in prison for murder, and he was known as a sexual predator. Hill claimed he murdered his sleeping cellmate because Handspike had threatened to sexually assault him.
Lots of appeals going on. The usual LI procedure, but Georgia executed Andrew Brannan at the beginning of this month with no problems. There is also the standard mental capacity issue, claiming Hill has an IQ of only 70, but:-
The state has cited expert testimony and IQ tests that concluded Hill is not mentally disabled. Before trial, Hill's family members described him as "the leader of the family" and "a father figure," the state notes. He was not in special education classes and served in the Navy, where he received promotions, the state has said.
Seems to be ok to me!

The 'tard card is just one of the pages in the standard DP offense. It amazes me how stupid these people become when the gurney looms.
