Of course. One death row inmate is Doil Lane, whose I.Q. has been tested between 62 and 70 and whose emotional and intellectual development is that of an 8-year-old, his lawyer, William Allison, said. Mr. Lane was convicted [in Texas] of the rape and murder of an 8-year-old girl, with the case against him consisting largely of his own confession, Mr. Allison said. Experts on mental retardation say that the mentally retarded often confess to things they have not done, in part because they want to please. Mr. Allison said Mr. Lane's confession was false. "Given time," he added, "you could get him to confess to anything." Mr. Allison noted that his client was so childlike that after he confessed, he climbed into the lap of a Texas Ranger to whom he had confessed. deathpenaltyinfo.org I wonder... if Mr. Lane had been the mentally retarded son of a middle class family would he have been sentenced to death? Thinking, thinking The answer is.... He got the wrong lottery ticket. It's expensive to buy the good tickets in the U.S.A. death lottery! Ask OJ.
