Jeb Bush in Florida has said that "people with clear mental retardation should not be executed," but his brother, George W., opposed laws that would prohibit the execution of the mentally retarded.

One of George W. Bush's first acts as governor of Texas, in January 1995, was to reject a request for clemency for Mario Marquez, who suffered from severe brain damage and had an I.Q. of 60 and the skills of a 7-year-old. Mr. Marquez was executed on the evening of Mr. Bush's inauguration for the murder of his niece.

"I want to be God's gardener and take care of the animals," Mr. Marquez told his lawyer, Robert McGlasson, a few hours before being strapped on to the gurney.
