Jobs, post-secondary education, the waiting list (for waivers) and reducing the state’s burden of proof for defendants with intellectual disabilities in death penalty cases recently were among the topics at the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities’ 15th annual Disability Day at the Georgia State Capitol in downtown Atlanta.
