A Texas death row inmate has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court after footage of a Comedy Central special with insult comic Jeff Ross was used as evidence against him.
Jeff Ross Roasts Criminals: Live at Brazos County Jail
In the special, Ross approached a table where a group of inmates, including Hall, were sitting. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, the highest criminal court in Texas , contended in December 2021 that during the inmates’ exchange with Ross, Hall “made comments arguably evincing a lack of remorse for having committed capital murder.”
Hall’s attorneys unsuccessfully filed a motion to suppress the unaired video from evidence, arguing that the Brazos County Jail permitting Ross to film the special and speak with Hall allowed Ross to obtain incriminating information from him in the absence of legal counsel. Hall’s attorneys presented evidence that they had sent a “no contact” letter to the jail in 2011, instructing jail staff to avoid verbal contact with their client without their written approval.
