Texas Death Row Inmate's Execution Halted Amid 'Junk Science' Concerns

Robert Roberson's case, involving the debunked Shaken Baby Syndrome diagnosis, has drawn attention from celebrities and lawmakers seeking justice reform.

Dr. Phil and John Grisham testified before Texas lawmakers, arguing that Robert Roberson's conviction was based on outdated forensic science.
Roberson's execution was delayed after a subpoena from the Texas House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence, which seeks to reassess convictions based on 'junk science.'
The Texas Supreme Court's decision to halt the execution came just hours before it was scheduled, highlighting legal and procedural controversies.
Roberson's case has gained bipartisan support, with advocates pushing for a fair trial that considers his daughter's medical history and the discredited diagnosis.
Upcoming changes in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals may influence Roberson's fate, as new judges could shift the court's stance on his appeals.
