Georgia Senate approves bill to lower proof standard for intellectual disability in death penalty cases.
Georgia's Senate has approved a bill that would ease requirements for proving intellectual disability in death penalty cases, changing the standard of proof from "beyond a reasonable doubt" to "preponderance of evidence."
This move aligns Georgia with other states and aims to provide a fairer process for evaluating intellectual disabilities.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Bill Werkheiser, now awaits the governor's signature.
Critics argue it could make pursuing the death penalty more difficult.
