A Texas death row inmate, Robert Roberson, is seeking a new trial after his lawyers found new evidence of judicial misconduct and a conflict of interest in his original case.
Up until now, if an inmate in a Texas prison wanted to get married, someone else had to stand in for the prisoner during a ceremony held somewhere outside the prison. That's about to change.
Police reports show Rickey Flanagan was arrested Friday night for DUI and taken to the Nacogdoches County Jail around 6:00pm, and at 6:15pm he was found unresponsive in his cell after apparently hanging himself.
