An Update on Robert Roberson

Robert Roberson is an innocent father who has spent more than two decades on Texas’ death row for a crime that never occurred — and Texas had set an execution date for Oct. 17.

In the final hours, Robert’s execution was temporarily halted by the Texas Supreme Court only because of a subpoena issued by the Texas House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence. But make no mistake, Robert is still at risk of execution despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence. With his birthday on Nov. 10, send him an uplifting note that you’re still fighting for him.

The Injustice of Death Row
Did you know that more than 2,000 people are currently on death row in the U.S.? People from the margins of society, particularly people of color, disproportionately face execution in cases often marred by racial bias, inadequate legal defense, incentivized informants, and unreliable evidence — leading causes of wrongful conviction that consistently pervert justice at the expense of innocent lives.

Our clients are a devastating reminder of the legal system’s preference for finality over fairness and a reluctance to halt executions even when doubt persists. To learn more about how systemic biases and failures are sending innocent people to death row, click here:
