DEATH PENALTY HALTED
Unprecedented happenings this week and a roller coaster of a Thursday.…
The Texas Supreme Court on Thursday temporarily halted the execution of a man scheduled to become the first person to be put to death in the United States for murder attributed to shaken baby syndrome, according to a court document.
The Texas Supreme Court ruled in favor of a bipartisan group of state lawmakers who asked that the execution, scheduled to take place on Thursday evening, be delayed.
The lawmakers requested the delay after issuing an unprecedented subpoena on Wednesday for death row inmate Robert Roberson to appear before them and answer questions about his case.
There’s been a lot of back and forth online between multiple groups and politicians, all taking sides in the case surrounding the execution of Robert Roberson. The group behind stopping the execution is especially interesting as it consists of Democrats and Republicans like Texas House Reps Rep. Schatzline, Rep. Harrison, and Rep. Leach among others.
Lots of arguments for and against the execution of Roberson, we invite our readers to hear both sides and make their own informed opinion.
What we think is a huge flex is that Rep. Leach argued his case for the subpoena of Roberson from his car and won.
Rep Leach along with Rep Moody released the following statement:
We hope to continue to see this level of ingenuity for issues like our border and securing our elections.
Monday will be an interesting day.
