Robert Roberson, a Texas death row inmate convicted of killing his two-year-old daughter in 2002, had his execution stayed due to a subpoena from the Texas House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence. The committee aims to examine the application of the 'junk science statute' as Roberson's conviction was largely based on outdated evidence related to shaken baby syndrome. The Texas Attorney General's Office has mandated that Roberson testifies via Zoom, despite a subpoena requiring his in-person appearance, citing logistical challenges. Governor Greg Abbott has petitioned the Texas Supreme Court to dismiss the subpoena, arguing it infringes on the governor's sole clemency powers. Lawmakers from both parties support Roberson's claims of innocence, highlighting potential flaws in the judicial system and the misuse of the 'junk science law.' The case underscores tensions between legislative actions and the state's executive powers, with constitutional implications regarding the separation of powers.
