The Supreme Court heard arguments today in Moore v. Texas, a case involving intellectual disability medical standards and the death penalty.
Bobby James Moore was convicted 36 years ago in the shooting death of James McCarble, a 70-year-old store clerk, in Houston, Texas.
After an appeals court again sentenced him to death, Moore's attorneys sought relief.
In June, the high court agreed to hear the case.
We spoke with ABC News' Supreme Court contributor Kate Shaw about today's case and what the court might decide:
