Text: In 1987, Dr. Joyce Carbonell was asked to assess Phillips's current level of functioning as well as his functioning as it related to his case. Her assessment was based on affidavits from family and friends, an interview with a former teacher, the court and Department of Corrections' records, and other available materials. Dr. Carbonell performed several tests on Phillips: the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)Revised; the Wide Range Achievement Test-Revised (WRAT-R2); the Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT); the Weschsler Memory Scale (WMS); and the Rorschach Test. Based on Phillips's test performance, Dr. Carbonell concluded that while he was functioning in the borderline range of intellectual functioning, his IQ score of 75 technically . . . would not qualify as mental retardation.
