A Harris County judge on Friday allowed a death row defendant to seek a new attorney to investigate concerns of a possible intellectual disability rather than signing the order to schedule his execution in August.
Graciela Quinones, center, the mother of Jessica Quinones, cries as she questions a judge’s decision on May 20, 2022, outside the 351st District Court.
Brown in 1992 killed three members of a southwest Houston family, including a pregnant woman, and their neighbor during a drug rip. He fled to Alabama with a relative’s help and was arrested months later. Dozens of relatives, including Quinones’ 76-year-old mother, Graciela Quinones, sought comfort from each other after leaving the courtroom in tears.
Brown’s lawyer, Paul Mansur, wrote in court filings that the defendant had a low IQ score as a child and was placed in special education classes. Records show his mother admitted to drinking alcohol on a weekly basis while pregnant with him and that he may have suffered a traumatic brain injury as a child.
