[Trigger Warning: Discriminatory practice and language in relation to people with learning disabilities]

“A death row prisoner who has been medically diagnosed as “mentally retarded” and therefore exempt from execution is set to die on Tuesday in Texas, a state that rejects scientific consensus and instead applies its own definition of learning difficulties based on a character in a John Steinbeck novel.”

Edit: This went ahead last Tuesday.
