Death row inmate gets temporarily saved 90 minutes before scheduled lethal injection

Robert Roberson, who has been on death row for over 20 years, was scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on Thursday, Oct. 17. Then, at the eleventh hour, the Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence issued a subpoena for him to testify, which saved his life.

    This is INSANE!! My brother was facing murder charges and the judge found out he wasnt guilty and said "you are to release him TODAY" he was so upset that he was going to be charged for a murder and they had no evidence that showed he was even there when it happened. So WHY can't the judge do the same in this case????? I pray they let this poor man out, he has suffered enough, not only has he been in prison but he lost his daughter and wasnt even able to grieve her death before they placed him in handcuffs. 💔I just dont understand if he has so many people backing him, what more do you need to let this man go???

    Just wondering, why did they wait so long to call it off? Why 90 minutes beforehand? He was probably terrified for that entire day. Hell even the lead detective was calling for it to be called off due to junk science and having medical experts say she in fact died of pneumonia, not shaken baby syndrome.
    Or is that how it works? They have a hearing before the death penalty is carried out? I don't have the death penalty in my country but have been watching what was happening here after reading about the case. Could it not have been called off sooner? Just seems pretty cruel to have him wait until an hour and a half before he was set to be put to death (as in having him sit and wait so close to sentencing taking place).

    It’s good that all these people have supported this man and saved him from the Death Penalty 90 minutes before his Death and I Support All Innocence and Nobody Should Be Put To Death If They Are Innocent…But I Have One Very Very Serious Question About This Why Was This Caucasian Man’s Life Saved If He Was Innocent And Not All The Other Innocent Peoples Life’s On Death Row Like Marcellus Williams who was Wrongfully Executed In His Home State wasn’t his case similar to this man’s with the Evidence and Many Others who are on Death Row and Have Been Executed and Convicted Wrongfully????
