The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that Robert Roberson’s execution may proceed, despite his long-standing claims of innocence. Convicted for the 2003 death of his two-year-old daughter, Roberson was halted last month due to a legislative subpoena for his testimony regarding new scientific evidence challenging his conviction. However, the Supreme Court determined lawmakers lacked authority to intervene. Calls for clemency from a bipartisan group and other advocates, including Dr. Phil, cited advancements in understanding ‘shaken baby syndrome’. Ultimately, Roberson’s execution will not be postponed amid ongoing controversy over his case.
