💨 Abstract

Texas requested a new execution date for Robert Roberson, convicted of killing his daughter based on shaken baby syndrome. A bipartisan group of lawmakers, claiming Roberson is innocent due to flawed science, previously delayed the execution. Roberson's attorneys argue new evidence proves his innocence, and a judge has not been assigned to his case yet. The Texas Attorney General's Office seeks the execution for October 16, despite pending appeals.
