Tracy Lane Beatty
TDCJ

An East Texas death row inmate who murdered his mother in 2003 has filed a lawsuit to halt his execution, which is Nov 9. Tracy Lane Beatty, 61-year-old of Whitehouse, claims that he has an intellectual disability, exempting him from the death penalty. During the trial, forensic psychiatrists testified that Beatty didn’t have a mental illness and had an average IQ.
