Roy Michael "Hog" Roberts (December 18, 1952 – March 10, 1999) was executed in Missouri by lethal injection at the Potosi Correctional Center,[1] for assisting the murder of a correctional officer named Tom Jackson in Missouri's Moberly Correctional Center in July 1983.[2][3]
A 2005 investigation was opened to investigate the possibility of Roberts' innocence.[4] No physical evidence connected Roberts to the crime. Four eyewitnesses, including three corrections officers, testified that Roberts had participated in the murder, while nine witnesses, including another corrections officer, had testified that Roberts had been elsewhere at the moment of the stabbing.[5]
