OCT 17
Texas is preparing to execute Robert Roberson, but evidence strongly suggests he is innocent and there was no crime. However, time is running out for him. Roberson is due to be executed on October 17. The 56-year-old has been on Texas death row for over 22 years after being convicted of the death of his two-year-old daughter, Nikki—thought to have died of shaken baby syndrome.
Texas will put Roberson to death unless he is granted clemency. Last week, a bipartisan majority of legislators in the Texas House asked the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to recommend clemency. The final decision will rest with Gov. Greg Abbott.
The problem is shaken baby syndrome has been proven to be junk science. I sat down with Roberson this week at the Polunsky Prison Unit in Livingston Texas. That’s where death row is.
