Yep, that’s some “spiritual advisor” you got there, Dominique. He must have forgotten to preach about rape and murder of teenagers being wrong.

Fine with me. If he wants a representative of satan present at his execution, the imam will do just fine.

He converted to Islam once he was on death row. No spiritual adviser of any sect likely had a impact on him before he wound up where he is.

Would obliging the prisoner's request mean that only the imam would directly witness the execution?

If that's the case, I understand the problem for Alabama: Moslems don't officially believe it's wrong to lie, if you're lying to non-Moslems. The state needs a witness to the fact that the criminal was executed.

The SCOTUS has ruled that capital punishment cannot be administered to individuals suffering from "mental retardation." I think an IQ of 80 is right on the borderline.

IQ 80 might pass for retarded for a white person. Based on the graph above, he is just below average for his racial group. It would be a difficult position to take the absolute definition of 80.

Twenty one years on death row.

Just shoot, shovel and shut up. Tell his lawyer he escaped.

Have they issued similar rulings regarding Christians and other faiths, that they must let your minister or priest be present?

Agreed. This was not a hill to die on; just looks stupid.
