Death row inmate Robert Roberson III will not appear Friday at a Texas House hearing, the chair of the committee holding the hearing said. Roberson, 58, was set to testify before the House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence after the committee’s chair issued a subpoena Tuesday.

Friday marked the second attempt to get Roberson to give testimony in Austin before the Texas House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence.
