Wright v. State
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court reaffirmed the postconviction court’s denial of Appellant’s intellectual disability (ID) claim, holding that Moore v. Texas, 137 S. Ct. 1039 (2017), did not impact the denial of Appellant’s ID claim.
On direct appeal in this case, the Supreme Court affirmed the denial of Appellant’s ID claim. Thereafter, the United States Supreme Court issued Moore, a decision potentially relevant to this case. The United States Supreme Court then vacated the Supreme Court’s decision and remanded to allow the Court to reconsider its decision on appeal. On remand, the Supreme Court held that Appellant failed to prove adaptive deficits by clear and convincing evidence - a conclusion that Moore did not alter.
