The Texas House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee held a hearing with death row inmate Robert Roberson subpoenaed to appear, but just hours before the hearing was set to take place, the Texas Office of the Attorney General (OAG) cast doubt on his appearance.
On the evening prior to the committee hearing, Attorney General Ken Paxton sent out a press release that included a motion for a protective order against the committee subpoena — effectively blocking Roberson from appearing.
