Anderson County, Texas, District Attorney’s Incompetence in Death Row Case of Robert Roberson

Robert Roberson was set to be executed today for a crime he didn’t commit, but in a last-minute decision, his execution has been stayed. During a Texas Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence hearing, Anderson County District Attorney Allison Mitchell—who pushed through Robert’s execution warrant—was repeatedly unable to recall basic facts of the case.
