State leaders are bracing for a potential maelstrom at the Texas Capitol on Monday as death row inmate Robert Roberson is set to appear in person at a House committee — the first time a condemned prisoner has testified before state lawmakers.
The evening before Roberson was set to be executed around 6 p.m. Thursday, the Texas House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee voted 7-0 to issue a subpoena ordering Roberson to appear before the panel.
