On Jan. 14, Cory Johnson is set to be killed but his lawyers argued last month that “allowing Corey Johnson’s execution to go forward would be a grave injustice," due to his intellectual disability, according to The Richmond-Times Dispatch.

“Johnson suffered an awful childhood filled with physical and emotional abuse and extreme neglect, all risk factors for intellectual disability. He lived a transient childhood, shuttled between numerous homes and 10 different schools before he reached adolescence,” his lawyers wrote.

According to The Times Dispatch, Johnson was abandoned by his substance-abusing mother at 13 and given to residential facility for children with intellectual and emotional impairments, because he had difficulty learning and because she felt ill-equipped to help him with his disabilities, the lawyers said.
