TV personality Dr. Phil joins chorus urging Texas not to execute autistic man

AUSTIN – Phillip McGraw, the TV host known as "Dr. Phil," told Texas' House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence that the state's pending execution of Robert Roberson would be a miscarriage of justice. "After examining the record in this case, the trial transcript in this case, the medical records in this case, this man has not had due process," said McGraw, who holds a doctorate in clinical psychology. "This man has not had a fair trial, and if we start executing people in Texas, absent due process, absent fair trial, we are going down a really dangerous road that is not something I can support."
