I think I posted a figure here recently from a study on how many people have been unjustly executed in the U.S. Statistically, some of those were undoubtedly mentally deficient-- retarded and/or insane. Mentally retarded people can be persuaded to confess to anything. "The smart guy who doesn't confess, who knows better than to give evidence against himself, gets the deal," said Mr. Pokorak, Mr. Cruz's lawyer. "But the guy who is retarded, who doesn't understand all the words of his Miranda warning, he gets death." Oops! Wrong ticket in the U.S.A Death Lottery, the mentally retarded one!
