Robert Roberson, facing execution for his daughter's death, contends he is innocent and that the shaken baby syndrome diagnosis used in his conviction is deeply flawed.
Gretchen Sween, one of Roberson's lawyers, criticized the criminal justice system for its failure, emphasizing that it's shocking how it has not yet been rectified despite ongoing issues.
The case has reignited discussions about the validity of shaken baby syndrome, which has led to numerous convictions, yet faces skepticism as more evidence suggests alternative causes.
Despite the American Academy of Pediatrics still endorsing shaken baby syndrome, growing scrutiny from medical professionals and legal experts has emerged concerning its reliability in abuse determinations.
