Jeanne Russell testified Monday that Alton Alexander Nolen, 30, of Norman, wishes to accept the death penalty because of his religious beliefs. She cited a "major deficit" in his "intellectual functioning" that she noticed in seven hours of interviews and tests conducted on May 28 and June 30. Nolen scored 62 and 69 on IQ tests and is mentally retarded, Russell testified.

Cleveland County prosecutor Susan Caswell disagreed with the view that Nolen is retarded, saying he graduated 83rd out of 104 students at Idabel High School, in Idabel, Okla., and got As in two college psychology classes before leaving school.
