Texas Court Upholds Killer's Death Sentence, Again:  A Texas murderer who won a rehearing on his mental state from the U.S. Supreme Court last year, failed to convince the highest court in Texas that he was too disabled for execution.  Keri Blakinger of the Houston Chronicle reports that, in a 5-3 decision, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals held that Moore "had failed to show adaptive deficits sufficient to support a diagnosis of intellectual disability"  Acknowledging the guidance the Supreme Court provided in Moore v. Texas, the state court followed the most recent American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM5) to determine if Moore was intellectually disabled, and concluded that he was not.  Moore was convicted and sentenced to death for the  April 25,1980 robbery of the Birdsall Super Market and murder of an 72-year-old clerk.  It was the third robbery Moore and his two accomplices conducted that day.  During the robbery, Moore was pointing a shotgun at the elderly clerk when one of the store's two other employees shouted that they were being robbed. Moore shot the clerk, blowing his head off.  Moore then fled to Louisiana, where he was later arrested.  The Chronicle article noted that newly elected Harris County District Kim Ogg asked the court to reduce Moore's sentence to life in prison, but failed to mention its earlier article reporting that Ogg received a $500,000 contribution from progressive, anti-death penalty billionaire George Soros to help her defeat the county's tough-on-crime incumbent.
