Four Texas House lawmakers issued a point-by-point rebuttal to what they called the attorney general’s misleading characterization of Roberson’s case.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton broke his public silence about death row inmate Robert Roberson III’s case Wednesday, issuing a statement to set “the record straight” regarding the death of Roberson’s daughter.
