U.S. Court of Appeals upholds Va. death sentence

The 4^th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the death sentence of Alfredo Prieto, who was convicted of killing two George Washington University students in 2005. Prieto claimed that he is intellectually disabled and therefore cannot legally be executed. This appeal follows a Supreme Court case from last year where they ruled in a Florida case that an IQ test cannot determine whether someone is intellectually disabled, which would make them unable to be executed. The court decided that any reasonable jury would find Prieto eligible for the death penalty.
