The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles has denied parole to a man sentenced to life in prison for the kidnapping, rape, robbery and murder of a University of Texas student in 1983, according to the Williamson County District Attorney’s Office.
James Otis Clary, 56, was convicted in 1985 for his part in the killing of 24-year-old Rosalind Robison, the district attorney’s office said.
Clary and his accomplice, Tommy Ray Jackson, kidnapped Robison from the parking lot of the Petroleum Engineering Building on the University of Texas campus Nov. 17, 1983, and drove her in her own car north on Interstate 35, sexually assaulting her during the trip, the district attorney’s office said.
Jackson shot her in the back of the head by a farm road near Hutto after telling her he had heard her use his name, the district attorney’s office said. Jackson was executed in 2000, the district attorney’s office said. Clary will be reconsidered for parole in December 2014, according to the district attorney’s office.
