In Texas, Execution Looms Despite Questions in Shaken Baby Case
Briefly

Robert Roberson, convicted of killing his daughter, is facing execution, raising concerns due to reliance on a controversial shaken baby syndrome diagnosis that is now being questioned.
A majority of the Texas House Republicans have requested to halt Robert Roberson's execution, citing the detective's new belief in his innocence and the questionable evidence used in the conviction.
Roberson's defense argues that his daughter's death resulted from pneumonia and medication, not abuse, yet Texas courts have thus far remained unyielding ahead of the scheduled execution.
Supporters, including novelist John Grisham, are calling for clemency and have appealed to various authorities, emphasizing the need for justice in light of potentially faulty evidence.
