The radio series This American Life devoted part of their most recent episode to this. I was sure that there would be a linked to it in the OP, but I don't see it.

I went to the transcript and couldn't help but be struck by this quote:

Ira Glass: It's against the law to execute somebody who is so crazy he doesn't understand why he's being executed. And Scharlette said that was true for this guy.

Scharlette Holdman: When I would say, do you know what's going to happen on the 12th of June, he was kind of befuddled and, with pressure, he would finally say, well yeah, he thought he was going to be reupholstered.
