Atkins v. Virginia, 536 U.S. 304 (2002), is a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled 6-3 that executing people with intellectual disabilities violates the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishments, but states can define who has an intellectual disability. At the time Atkins was decided, just 18 of the 38 death penalty states exempted intellectually disabled offenders from the death penalty.

  • Atkins gegen Virginia ist ein Fall, der im Jahr 2002 vom Obersten Gerichtshof der Vereinigten Staaten entschieden wurde. Das Gericht untersagte die Hinrichtung von Menschen mit geistigen Behinderungen und berief sich dabei auf den 8. Zusatzartikel der amerikanischen Verfassung, der „grausame und ungewöhnliche Strafen“ verbietet. Das Gericht überließ es jedoch den Staaten, den Grad der Behinderung selbst zu bestimmen, schränkte diesen Ermessensspielraum dann aber zwölf Jahre später in stark ein. (de)
  • Atkins mot Virginia var ett rättsfall 2002 där USA:s högsta domstol beslutade att dödsstraff mot personer med utvecklingsstörning är ett "grymt och ovanligt straff", och alltså strider mot åttonde tillägget i USA:s författning. Se även dödsstraff i USA. (sv)
