Funnyman Jeff Ross may have inadvertently contributed to a Texas inmate's death sentence ... and now, the guy's attorneys are asking the Supreme Court to overturn the sentence.
, obtained by TMZ, Ross and Hall had a wide-ranging convo that was aired AS A PART of"Jeff Ross Roasts Criminals: Live At Brazos County Jail." The chat lasted 17 minutes with the comedian repeatedly mocking the guy's appearance and joking about his race. During the exchange, Hall made a series of jokes which prosecutors used during the penalty phase which, they said, showed Hall had"a lack of remorse for having committed capital murder.
In their legal docs, Hall's lawyers say that before the Ross special was taped, they sent the Brazos County Sheriff a letter of"no contact" ... asking the deputies to prohibit anyone from talking to Hall without their permission. Clearly, that didn't happen.
