Rania and Andy sit with Rep. Lacey Hull and Attorney Brad Scalise to discuss the case of Robert Roberson.

In 2003, Roberson was convicted and sentenced to death for the death of his daughter, Nikki, after a short fall at home. The case relied on the now-questioned shaken baby syndrome theory.

Since then, new medical evidence, an autism diagnosis, and missing CT scans have cast doubt on the original findings. His execution—recently rescheduled for Oct. 16, 2025, could become the first in the U.S. tied to this disputed science.

Rania and Jenn sit down with Anna McAdams and her daughter, Elliston Berry, to share a powerful and deeply personal story.

At just 15, Elliston became the victim of an AI-generated deepfake, an explicit, fake image created from her Instagram.

What began as a devastating violation has since turned Elliston and Anna into courageous advocates for change.

Their fight helped spark national attention, reaching the White House, Capitol Hill, and Congress, and played a key role in the passing of the “Take It Down Act," a new law that holds tech platforms accountable and gives victims a path to justice.
