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.

After the attorney general insisted on the death row inmate’s guilt in a graphic press release, four lawmakers issued a point-by-point rebuttal.

The statement from Paxton "corrects falsehoods" from critics who say death row inmate Robert Roberson was unjustifiably convicted in the death of his toddler child.
