"On Friday, June 20 the state of South Carolina executed a mentally handicapped inmate. The governor’s office refused to comment on the inmate’s mental condition. “You can call the Department of Corrections and they can fill you in,” spokesman Joel Sawyer told City Paper when asked whether the governor was aware the man scheduled for execution, James Earl Reed, had an IQ of 77. The IQ range considered borderline or mildly mentally retarded is between the 70-79 range. The state allowed Reed to represent himself in court despite his mental condition."
