mr. stephenson. >> mr. chief justice, may it please the court. it undisputed premaster now sits on death row unable to fully orient the time and place. as a result of several strokes he suffers from acute vascular dementia which has left his cognitive abilities greatly diminished. he now has intellectual functioning and the borderline range but the memory scores 68 and the severe disabilities have rendered him bewildered and confused most of the time. mr. stephenson. >> a question for both sides but i'm having trouble with a firm grasp of exactly what issues are presented. tell me if i've got this right. there are two. the first one i went to a news to someone who doesn't remember the details of their crime, can he satisfy simply on that basis? he knows that capital punishment is getting us it's going to happen. he just doesn't remember what he did. the second one is whether or not vascular dementia can be a basis for a claim. in other words, he meets the standard but it's not caused by insanity. it's caused a dementia. am i right that those are
