The death penalty sentence of Ronell Wilson, who was convicted of murdering two police officers, is headed back to the district court for a re-examination of his mental capacity in light of a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision on capital punishment.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit remanded United States v. Wilson, 13-3566-cr, to Eastern District Judge Nicholas Garaufis (See Profile) to address “whether it needs to consider evidence of Wilson’s adaptive deficits given Wilson’s IQ scores.”
