A convicted inmate has walked free due to his mental disability after spending almost four decades behind bars.
According to a spokesman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Bobby James Moore is currently living with his close family after being released from jail early in August.
The 60-year-old man has fatally shot store clerk James McCarble amid a robbery in April 1980.
He has been put on death row after a grand jury found him guilty. He was in his 20s when the shooting occurred.
Moore’s defense team along with the U.S. Supreme Court considered his execution as unconstitutional because he is struggling with severe mental issues and is intellectually disabled, reports said.
