NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) A Tennessee death row inmate s attorneys on Wednesday asked a court to declare that he cannot be executed because he is intellectually disabled.

Attorneys for Pervis Payne, a 54-year-old Tennessee inmate on death row, have asked a court to declare that he cannot be executed because he is intellectually disabled.
Their petition was filed in Shelby County Criminal Court on Wednesday a day after Republican Gov. Bill Lee signed bipartisan legislation, inspired by Payne s case, that makes retroactive a Tennessee law that prevents death row inmates with an intellectual disability from being executed.
The Supreme Court ruled such executions unconstitutional in 2002, finding that they violate the Eighth Amendment s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
