The text recounts the last-minute legal battle to save Robert Roberson from execution in Texas. After being convicted of murdering his daughter, Roberson faced death by lethal injection for the “shaken baby” death of his toddler. However, a bipartisan group of Texas House members who believe Roberson was wrongfully convicted intervened and secured a temporary stay of his execution. This stay provides time for further investigation of the case, which is being reconsidered due to new evidence and questions surrounding the validity of the shaken baby syndrome diagnosis in this particular case.
