Just who is retarded here?

Aaron Hart sexually assaulted his neighbor's child in 2008. He was convicted and sentenced to 100 years in prison. Not fair, the appeals court says. Aaron has the understanding of a 6-year-old. His father says someone in the prison stole a piece of string from Aaron. Aaron had been having conversations with Jason (the string's name) since he was 8 years old. He doesn't know his right shoe from his left, he can't run his own bath, he can't shave, he can't cook, he can't read or write, he can't clean a room, and he loves cartoons and children's toys, says his father.

But he's a 2008 Paris High School graduate! Says a lot for our educational system, doesn't it?
