Florida Killer's Death Sentence Vacated Because of Low IQ
Tuesday, January 05, 2010

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The death sentence of a Florida man convicted of the 1981 killing of a convenience store clerk was vacated because his IQ is too low.

A judge in Daytona Beach last month signed an order setting aside the death sentence for Ted Herring.

Circuit Judge Joseph Will wrote in his decision that Herring has significant limitations in his functioning.

The state Attorney General's Office has appealed the decision to the Florida Supreme Court. If the order is affirmed, Herring will be sentenced to life in prison.

A 2002 Florida law prohibits the execution of anybody with an IQ below 70.

Herring was convicted in 1982 of killing clerk Norman Dale Hoeltzel at a 7-Eleven in Daytona Beach.

You would think they would have figured out the guys mental status before they even sentenced him.

Sorry bout that,

1. I would venture to say this man is a black man.
2. If the case then, all blacks could have a legal case to avoid all responsiblity for homicide.
3. Could be Hogtrash is right on target bringing up these facts.

He's black...robbed a convenience store for less than $24 and in the process killed the clerk.

That being said, if you think blacks have cornered the market on stupidity then you haven't been paying attentyion to the US Congress!

He was convicted and sentenced in 1982.He should have been dead in 1983. But 28 years later they are still playing the appeal game. A couple of more years and he'll be out on parole.
