Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a motion in the Supreme Court of Texas asking the court to dismiss its Thursday order delaying the execution of Robert Roberson III.
The order, which came late Thursday night, hours after Roberson was scheduled to be executed, granted a subpoena issued by a House Committee calling Roberson to testify Monday about how state’s 2013 “junk science” law allowing people to challenge convictions with new science was applied in his case.
