INDIANA — Defense attorneys said a 19-year-old man charged with fatally beating his girlfriend's toddler shouldn't be executed because tests show the man is mentally retarded.

State police said Joshua Turner of Black Lick told them he beat 19-month-old Leonard McIntire after the child bit Turner's finger and "wanted him to know what pain felt like."

Indiana County District Attorney Thomas Bianco said the victim's age is one reason why he's pursuing the death penalty if Turner is convicted of first-degree murder in the beating last October.

But Turner's attorneys said a psychologist last year determined Turner is retarded and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2002 retarded defendants cannot be executed.

A judge has not scheduled a hearing on the defense motion filed Tuesday.
