[Newspoetry] execution

[Brian Hagy]

hey, does anybody know any information, or have a moment to research for
me, about this execution scheduled to happen tonight in Texas.  The person
being executed (i don't remember his name, i've only heard brief details,
and want to know more) is mentally retarded, which according to federal
law i thought it's illegal to execute mentally retarded people (the quote
i've been hearing from the state of texas is that if "someone doesn't know
what they're doing, then they're even more dangerous"....is this quote
being said?).

i want to know more about this situation, but don't have the time to
research it right now, since i'm in the process of moving, and working
with these "dangerous" people.

thanks,
brian
