Need to overturn the ruling against executing mentally retarded felons.

Our Justice system in America is for correction. Hence the department of corrections bit. If someone cannot be corrected or will never be released you could make a compelling argument that life in prison with no hope of leaving is cruel and unusual punishment. This justifies execution beyond even the punitive.

Self defense, assisted self defense, and defense of future victims sound perfectly justified to me.

It's a joke in most states that have it because the state fiddles around with legal crap for so many years while the condemned sits on death row. I think states figure if they fool around long enough, the condemned will die of natural causes and they don't have to actually execute them.
