Payne, 9 F.4th 646 (8th Cir. 2021), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit affirmed the federal district court ruling that defendant Alvin Bernal Jackson was intellectually disabled and thus was ineligible for the death penalty. The Eighth Circuit found that the district court ' s ruling, which did not credit Mr. Jackson ' s adaptive functioning strengths, was consistent with Arkansas ' statutory requirements and U.S. Supreme Court precedent.****************************************** Kevin S.
