John Ruthell Henry, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the lower court’s dismissal of John Ruthell Henry’s motion for a determination of intellectual disability as a bar to execution, holding that he did not present a facially sufficient claim under §921.137. The Court reasoned that Henry offered only a single IQ score without evidence of adaptive deficits or onset before age 18, and competency evaluations showed he understood the death penalty.
