The Texas Supreme Court halted Thursday night’s scheduled execution of a man who would have become the first person in the U.S. put to death for a murder conviction tied to a diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome.
The late-night ruling to spare for now the life of Robert Roberson, who was convicted of killing his 2-year-old daughter in 2002, capped a flurry of last-ditch legal challenges and weeks of public pressure from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers who say he is innocent and was sent to death row based on flawed science.
Been watching the updates on Houston News, from the sound of it this is just a futal scramble to make up a reason because the diagnosing doctor has had more than a decade to have a change of heart. It’s going to go through soon enough.
The dude shook a baby. Pneumonia or not, the child died of being shaken by this walmart brand Steve Buscemi looking fuck. His life, in my eyes, is null and void the second she died.
Hey, you leave Steve out of this! 😘
