Earl Washington IQ of 69 Confessed to a Crime He Did Not Commit

In 1983, police convinced Earl Washington to make a statement concerning the rape and murder of a woman in Culpeper, VA, in 1982. The statements were used against him and in 1984 he was convicted and sentenced to death. Sixteen years later, DNA tests confirmed that Washington was innocent and he received an absolute pardon.

Mario Marquez IQ of 65 Executed in Texas in 1995

Mario Marquez had the adaptive skills of a 7 year-old.  His trial counsel testified at a clemency hearing that he did not present any evidence of Mario's mental retardation because of a legal flaw in the Texas death penalty statute.  Marquez was executed on January 17, 1995.
