Alfred Bourgeois
Alfred Bourgeois, 56, was executed by the federal government on December 11, 2020, at the federal facility in Terre Haute, Indiana, the second federal execution in two days. His lawyers argued that his severe intellectual disability should have barred the execution, pointing to IQ tests and testimony from his family, and the Supreme Court denied their request with two justices dissenting. His lawyers also said the government scheduled the execution with far less notice than the law requires.
