TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Trump administration continued its unprecedented series of post-election federal executions Friday by putting to death a Louisiana truck driver who severely abused his 2-year-old daughter for weeks in 2002, then killed her by slamming her head against a truck's windows and dashboard.
Alfred Bourgeois, 56, was pronounced dead at 8:21 p.m. ET after receiving a lethal injection at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind.
His lawyers argued Bourgeois had an IQ that put him in the intellectually disabled category which should have made him ineligible for the death penalty under federal law. Victor J. Abreu, said it was "shameful" to execute his client "without fair consideration of his intellectual disability."
Ok. So, if we are going to make the point that his intellectual disability should have spared him the death penalty then why was he left on death row?
