Dr. Kevin McGrew of the Department of Educational Psychology was interviewed on the Huffington Post Live regarding the US Supreme Court’s intellectual disability death penalty ruling regarding the Hall v Florida case on May 27, 2014.
Dr. McGrew was influential in 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.
The US Supreme Court declared the State of Florida’s law regarding the execution of individuals with intellectual disabilities was unconstitutional due to the state’s failure to recognize the scientific measurement fact of the standard error of measurement (SEM) that portrays the degree of certainty surrounding individual IQ scores.
