On Oct. 16, Robert Roberson could be the first person in the U.S. executed based on the discredited “shaken baby syndrome” hypothesis.
Time is running out to stop the execution of Robert Roberson, on Oct. 16, and your voice could make a critical difference. Robert’s case is riddled with unscientific evidence, inaccurate and misleading medical testimony, and prejudicial treatment. This is a life that may be unjustly taken, and Gov. Greg Abbott has the power to intervene. We urge Texans to call Gov. Abbott and ask him to halt this execution, ensuring that all the facts are thoroughly reviewed.
