Attorneys for a federal death row inmate who was convicted of molesting and killing his two-year-old daughter have filed a motion arguing he should be spared execution due to intellectual disability.
Alfred Bourgeois, 55, is one of the five federal inmates whose execution was scheduled by Attorney General Bill Barr last month, after a 16-year lapse in federal executions. On Thursday, attorneys for Bourgeois filed for a stay of execution arguing that his IQ had been tested on two occasions at 70 and 75, and had been 'corrected under clinically—accepted standards to 67 and 68.' Historically, IQ scores below 70 have been the prime factor for a diagnosis of intellectual disability, otherwise known as mental retardation.
