Jeff Ross' 2015 Comedy Central special from Texas jail was named in a Supreme Court petition claiming inmate was sentenced to death due to footage from show.
Shaquille O'Neal and Jeff Ross attended Justin Bieber's roast in 2015.
The beloved roastmaster did however like a series of tweets Wednesday following the release of the petition. "It's really depressing that @realjeffreyross footage was used like that," one Twitter user wrote."Anyone who has seen his specials would know not to take the conversations at face value. After doing some research it appears Jeff Ross went on to advocate for better jail/prison conditions."
Another tweet which received Ross' stamp of approval:".@realjeffreyross is an American hero, and I want to pitch the Columbo detective series reboot where he gets criminals to confess by roasting them."Fox News Digital's Larry Fink contributed to this report.
