The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that the execution of Robert Roberson can proceed, following a series of legal challenges that had previously paused the execution. Roberson was convicted in 2003 for the murder of his two-year-old daughter, Nikki Curtis, but he maintains his innocence, asserting that she died from complications related to pneumonia. The execution was initially halted last month due to legal disputes and a subpoena issued by Texas lawmakers, who sought to intervene in the case. However, the court determined that the lawmakers lacked the authority to stop the execution. Roberson's clemency bid was also rejected by the Texas parole board and Governor Greg Abbott. The case has drawn attention due to its connection to 'shaken baby syndrome,' now referred to as abusive head trauma, with Roberson's lawyers arguing that new evidence could potentially impact his conviction. The ongoing legal battles highlight the complexities surrounding wrongful convictions and the evolving understanding of medical evidence in such cases. [74b5e122]
