Robert Roberson and Texas GOP internecine battles

Shock me that Ken Paxton is lying about Robert Roberson. Good on state House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence for doing a point-by-point rebuttal. Also shock me that Kenny Boy has Tony Tinder(holt), Briscoe Cain and six other House GOP wingnuts attacking the House committee with biased language.

That said, per this Trib piece, the eight wingnuts aren't alone. As noted, the Court of Criminal Appeals has NEVER ordered a new trial for a death row inmate off the 2013 junk science law.

Besides Kenny Boy, the House committee members, and other conservatives with a conscience, face a bigger obstruction.

Danny Boy Goeb is dead set against more criminal justice reform, or more teeth for the junk science law. Contra his spox's blathering? A key tell, the House passed a bill last year to put more teeth into the law. It never even got a committee assignment in the Senate.

That then said, many House Republicans, like Jeff Leach, have gotten firmer on this issues, working with the likes of Democrat Joe Moody.
