    Murphy had a prior execution date of January 27, 2006.

    The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals remanded to trial court under an Atkins claim on January 18, 2006.

    Man hopes IQ will get him off death row

    A man sentenced to die in 1997 hopes a court will find he isn’t smart enough for the death penalty.

    Julius Jerome Murphy, 31, will appear before 102nd District Judge John Miller on Dec. 13. The judge signed an order Thursday directing prison officials to return Murphy to Texarkana.

    The court will consider defense and state expert evaluations of Murphy. The inmate’s appeals have been denied, but federal law prohibits the death sentence for an offender with a severely diminished intellect.

    In 2004, Murphy wrote about his life on a Website for death row inmates...
