Thankfully it really isn't. But it almost wasn't. Darryl Atkins is a mentally handicap man that assaulted and stole money from a man where upon he and his accomplish killed him. Darryl and his friend where caught and tried. Atkins was found to be "mildly" mentally retarded. It was under state law that the executing of mentally retarded people is "cruel and unusual" punishment. The fight was taken to the supreme court and in the end Atkins was NOT killed. This is probably a good thing, for not they can treat him and make him into a better person.
