Report as written is vague, inconsiderate of the audience. Given the fact that this particular website caters to law-enforcement personnel or those interested in such matters, the topic of death-row inmates being executed due to their education is likely to generate great discussions and further efforts in studies. Unfortunately, the story itself says nothing about the correlation between lower education and execution, or higher education and execution.
