On Monday, Robert Roberson is set to testify before a committee of the Texas Legislature — the first time a person on death row has had such an opportunity. Roberson was set to be executed Thursday, but the evening before the Texas House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee voted 7-0 to subpoena him to appear before the panel.

Roberson was scheduled to become the first person in the country to be executed based on "shaken baby syndrome" evidence, until Texas lawmakers subpoenaed him to testify.
