By order of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, a death row inmate's sentence is now converted to life in prison. The condemned man, 60-year-old Bobby Moore, had been sentenced to die for murdering an elderly clerk during a 1980 robbery of a Houston grocery store. His defense lawyers claimed Moore is intellectually disabled and therefore not eligible for the death penalty. The U.S. Supreme Court has twice overruled the state's highest criminal court in the case, leaving no alternative but to change his death sentence to a life term.
