Texas Supreme Court Greenlights Execution of Robert Roberson

TL;DR Summary
The Texas Supreme Court has ruled against a group of lawmakers who attempted to use their subpoena power to delay the execution of Robert Roberson, a death row inmate convicted in a "shaken baby" case. The decision allows the execution to proceed, despite the lawmakers' efforts to have Roberson testify before the House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee. The legal battle began when the state attorney general's office challenged the subpoena, leading to a temporary halt of Roberson's execution.
