ASSESSMENT OF INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY IN DEATH PENALTY CASES.
— STAFF
An evaluator conducting an Atkins assessment learns that the Supreme Court has left the weighing of multiple, conflicting IQ scores unresolved, so the burden of explaining measurement error, practice effects and score aggregation remains with the expert rather than being settled by a legal rule. Useful orientation for capital-case practice, but as a column it changes no obligation and supplies no new evidence.
