Students with mental disabilities actually can go to college and graduate. They get special help because of their documented disabilities from their mental health doctors.
There's a difference between retarded and other learning issues. One can be dyslexic and can be intelligent and perfectly able to learn. There's no way that a college should be admitting retarded people because they don't have the mental capacity for college level work. IMO, this is very significant and it could torpedo efforts by the defense on this retardation issue. If they can get an expert to say Williams (I think he's the one who was enrolled at Owens) is retarded, Owens could easily refute that by showing that he passed college entrance exams.
