    Michael Andre Davis - Oregon



    Michael Andre Davis


    Facts of the Crime:

    Davis was convicted of killing a man and a stripper in a motel on November 2, 1991. Shortly after the killing, some witnesses came forward and told police that Davis had killed the two, but they later retracted their statements apparently because Davis threatened their lives. Six years later, Davis was sentenced to 60 months in prison on a drug charge. While in prison, he confessed to the killings to other inmates. The inmates were contacted by police and stated that Davis admitted to killing the two people because the stripper rejected him and owed him money, and he was jealous of the man.

    Death row inmate with low IQ can't be executed for double murder, judge says

    A Portland judge has ruled that a double murderer sent to death row for shooting his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend has an "intellectual disability" and shouldn't be executed for his crimes.

    Multnomah County Circuit Judge Michael Greenlick issued his written ruling after noting that Michael Davis' IQ was measured as low as 61 or 62 when he was a schoolboy. An IQ of 100 is considered average and people with IQs of below 70 are considered to have an intellectual disability.

    The term has replaced the phrase "mental retardation" in professional circles. As the judge noted, it encompasses more than an IQ score: It also is defined by a person's inability to function in society.

    The judge noted that ample evidence existed that Davis had such difficulties -- likely stemming in part from being beaten in the head and suffering brain damage as a child. Davis, who attended Los Angeles public schools, stuttered and was teased by classmates. He was labeled "educable mentally retarded" while he was in high school.

    "There is a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche
