FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson Demands Immediate Stay of Execution for Robert Roberson
Washington, D.C. –Congressman Jonathan Jackson today called for an immediate stay of execution for Robert Roberson, who is scheduled to be executed in Texas.
Congressman Jackson emphasized the urgent need for a thorough review of Roberson's case, citing significant concerns about the fairness of his trial and the
evidence used to convict him.
"Robert Roberson's case raises serious questions about the integrity of our justice system," said Congressman Jackson.
"We cannot allow an execution to proceed when there are substantial doubts about the validity of the conviction. It is imperative that we ensure
every individual receives a fair trial, and that justice is truly served."
Congressman Jackson highlighted several key issues in Roberson's case, including the use of outdated and discredited forensic science,
as well as the lack of adequate legal representation. He urged the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles and Governor Greg Abbott
to grant a stay of execution and allow for a comprehensive review of the case.
"Our justice system must be based on fairness and accuracy," Congressman Jackson continued. "Executing Robert Roberson without
addressing these critical concerns would be a grave miscarriage of justice. I implore the authorities to halt this execution and ensure that justice is upheld."
Congressman Jackson remains committed to advocating for justice and fairness in the criminal justice system and will continue to fight for the rights of
those who have been wrongfully convicted.
