A man was given the death penalty after footage of him being roasted in jail by Comedy Central's Jeff Ross was used in his sentencing

- A Comedy Central roast is at the heart of a death-row appeal heading to the US Supreme Court.
- 2015 footage of Jeff Ross roasting Texas jail inmates was used at a murder convict's sentencing.
- The inmate's lawyers say the footage shouldn't have been used and influenced the sentencing.
Footage from the comedian Jeff Ross is at the center of an appeal brought by the convicted murderer Gabriel Hall, scheduled to be heard by the US Supreme Court in January.
Hall was convicted in 2015 of murder in the 2011 killing of Ed Shaar, an older Navy veteran, and the stabbing of his wife, Linda. Hall was 18 at the time of the crime.
According to court papers seen by Insider, Hall was awaiting trial at Brazos County Detention Center in 2015 when Ross and his film crew were allowed in to film a roast of the inmates, including Hall.
The show was later released as "Jeff Ross Roasts Criminals: Live at Brazos County Jail."
While Hall's footage never made it into the final cut, according to Rolling Stone, the state subpoenaed Comedy Central for his scenes and included them as part of its evidence in Hall's sentencing, court papers say. He was given the death penalty.
Today, Hall's lawyers, led by Robert C. Owen, say the footage was unfairly obtained because they had earlier issued a "no contact" letter to the jail, barring anyone from approaching Hall without their permission.
That footage, they say, was central to procuring Hall's death sentence.
Hall's lawyers said he "jokily tried to play along" with a conversation in which he appeared to make light of his offense. He made a pun on the word "hacking" to describe his crime.
They wrote that it showed "a professional comic consciously working to provoke a response from an unwary subject — aggressively pushing [Hall] to make 'outrageous' statements to which Ross offered 'wild' or scandalous rejoinders — to maximize the video's commercial value as entertainment."
In it, according to the appeal, Ross repeatedly tells Hall to be more jovial and says he seems like a "scary dude."
Ross also made several racially offensive comments, nicknaming Hall — whose heritage is Asian — "Slim Sushi,"
the lawyers said.Ultimately, Hall's lawyers wrote, Hall "comes off as a self-centered oddball" thanks to the footage.
Ross also made what Hall's lawyers called "hostile and dehumanizing statements" about jail, with the comedian saying it was like "summer camp."

The state said in its rebuttal that Hall voluntarily agreed to talk to Ross and that he later signed a release form.
But Hall's lawyers said this contravened his "no contact" order and was done without prior legal advice, ultimately arguing it violated Hall's Sixth Amendment rights.
The state also said it was a small, noncentral part of a volume of evidence presented to the sentencing jury — which also heard what it described as the "most shocking" parts of Hall's original confession.
According to the state, Hall told police he ignored his victim Linda Shaar — who uses a wheelchair — who pleaded for mercy when he stabbed her in the neck. She survived the attack.

Lawyers for a Texas death-row inmate say Comedy Central roast footage of him and Ross was improperly used at his sentencing for murder.
