Roy 'Hog' Roberts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roy 'Hog' Roberts (died 10 March 1999) was executed in Missouri by lethal injection for the murder of a guard named Tom Jackson. A new investigation has been opened to see about the possibility that Roberts was innocent of the crime. If indeed Roberts is found to be innocent, he could be the first man to have proven to be executed by mistake in United States since the return of the death penalty in 1977 after Furman v. Georgia case in 1972 that struck down the then existing death penalty laws in the U. S.
