Beschreibung | James Lee Clark (May 13, 1968 – April 11, 2007) was an American murderer with an intellectual disability whose controversial execution by the state of Texas sparked international outcry. The controversy involved the argument that his execution violated the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Atkins v. Virginia (2002),which held that executions of intellectually disabled criminals is cruel and unusual punishment, which is prohibited by the Eighth Amendment. |
