Marvin Wilson sucked his thumb into his adulthood, reads at a second grade level, has an IQ of 61, doesn’t know the difference between left and right, and as a child couldn’t wear a belt without cutting off his circulation. On Tuesday, barring a last-minute intervention from the US Supreme Court, he’ll be executed in Texas.

Texas Bases Execution Decisions on John Steinbeck Novel

Film: At the Death House Door
