A group of advocates for the mentally disabled is hoping death row inmate Warren Hill will not be executed tonight and instead have his sentence commuted to life in prison.

Eric Jacobson with the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities says Hill, who has an IQ of 70, did not know right from wrong when he murdered another inmate, while in prison for the murder of his girlfriend.

“A crime was committed and he should serve his time for the crime committed, but not in the most heinous and brutal ways we can serve people,” he says.

Three of Hill’s doctors have since stated he is not competent enough to be put to death.

The mental health advocacy group All About Developmental Disabilities is calling for a change in Georgia law.

“We currently have strictest and heaviest burden of proof in the country, so we’re asking for that to be changed from beyond a reasonable double, which it currently is, to a preponderance of the evidence,” says Rita Young, AADD’s director of public policy.

For now, Hill is set to die by lethal injection at 7p.m.  The Georgia Supreme Court has denied his attorney’s motion for a stay as well as his application to appeal a decision by the Butts County Superior Court dismissing his claim that Hill is mentally retarded.
