Description
We granted this appeal to determine whether the trial court and the Court of Criminal Appeals erred by denying the petitioners motion to reopen his post-conviction petition. In his motion, the petitioner asserted that new evidence establishes that he is mentally retarded and, therefore, ineligible for the death penalty under Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-13-203, which prohibits the execution of the mentally retarded. The petitioner also argued on appeal that the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution and article I, § 16 of the Tennessee Constitution prohibit the execution of mentally retarded individuals.
