Robert Roberson was no show at House committee hearing | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: During a House committee meeting on criminal justice, death row inmate Robert Robertson was notably absent as the Attorney General labeled him a security risk. Chairman Joe Moody asserted the committee did not intend to create a constitutional crisis with its subpoena. The governor’s office filed a briefing claiming the committee overstepped its authority by halting Robertson’s execution, as clemency lies solely with the governor. A prayer was said by seminary students against the death penalty. Representative Drew Derby raised concerns about adherence to a law requiring appeals courts to address flawed science in Robertson’s shaken baby conviction, emphasizing the need for truth and justice.
Death row inmate Robert Roberson was a no show at a hearing on Monday. Roberson was subpoenaed by the House Jurisprudence Committee as a way to stop his execution that was set for last week.
