McGrew influential in Hall v Florida intellectual disability death penalty ruling

Dr. Kevin McGrew of the Department of Educational Psychology was given attribution in the Law Blog of the Wall Street Journal, for pointing out two errors in the statistical arguments of Justice Alito’s US Supreme Court dissent regarding the Hall v Florida intellectual disability death penalty ruling on May 27, which ruled that Florida’s law was unconstitutional. 

“Both of Justice Alito’s apparent errors were brought to Law Blog’s attention by Kevin McGrew, an IQ expert who is a visiting professor in educational psychology at the University of Minnesota and who worked with the American Psychological Association on a brief it filed with the court in the case.”
