In re: Robert Campbell, No. 14-20293 (5th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseMovant, a death row prisoner, contended that he is intellectually disabled and is, therefore, constitutionally ineligible for the death penalty under Atkins v. Virginia. The court concluded that the evidence in the record was more than sufficient to satisfy movant's burden of making out a prima facie showing of intellectual disability sufficient to warrant a successive habeas petition. Having authorized movant to file a successive federal habeas petition asserting his Atkins claims, the court granted the motion for a stay of execution pending resolution of movant's Atkins claim.
