Atkins v. Virginia

Atkins was convicted of abduction, armed robbery, and capital murder, but was verified as mentally disabled by a forensic psychologist. The jury sentenced him to death two times, after the first time was found to have a misleading verdict. However, despite the ruling of the jury, found that sentencing him to death would be "cruel and unusual punishment".

HOWEVER, Penry v. Lynaugh was another case earlier that ALSO determined the death penalty could not be used on people with mental disabilities. So it depends on the options you have.

I hope I've helped! :)

Hi

Serving: (a) In general. The process, which does not include a subpoena under Rule 4 or a subpoena under Rule 45, must be delivered by a United States marshal or a marshal deputy or by a person specially designated for that purpose, within the territorial limits of the state where the district court is located and, if authorized by federal statute, beyond those limits.

(b) Compliance with orders: Commitment of civil contempt. An order that commits a person for civil contempt of a decree can be delivered and executed in any district. Any other order in a civil contempt process can be delivered only in the state where the issuing court is located or in another place in the United States within 100 miles of where the order was issued.

Summons: (1) Content. A subpoena must: (A) name of the court and the parties; (B) be directed to the accused; (C) indicate the name and address of the plaintiff's lawyer or, if not indicated, of the plaintiff; (D) indicate the time within which the accused must appear and defend himself; (E) notify the defendant that the lack of appearance and defense may result in a default trial against the defendant for the compensation required in the complaint; (F) must be signed by the secretary; (G) that bears the seal of the court.

Subpoena: (a) In general. (1) Form and content. (A) Requirements: in general. Each citation must: (i) indicate the court from which it issued; (ii) indicate the title of the action and its civil action number; (iii) order each person to be told to do a specific time and place: attend and testify; produce designated documents, electronically stored information or tangible things in possession, custody or control of that person; or allow the inspection of premises; and (iv) establish the text of Rule 45 (d)
