"“Throwing Texans in jail who have had their businesses shut down through no fault of their own is nonsensical, and I will not allow it to happen,” said Governor Abbott. “That is why I am modifying my executive orders to ensure confinement is not a punishment for violating an order. This order is retroactive to April 2nd, supersedes local orders and if correctly applied should free Shelley Luther."
Luther, a hair salon owner from Dallas, was jailed for keeping her business open in defiance of state coronavirus restrictions. According to the Associated Press, following a video hearing where she repeatedly refused to apologize, she was found in contempt of court and sentenced to a week in jail."
