Death Row Case at a halt: Texas man will testify today
SUMMARY: Robert Robertson, 57, is set to testify before a Texas state house committee after his scheduled execution was halted four days prior. Convicted in 2002 for the murder of his 2-year-old daughter, Nikki, Robertson’s case relies on outdated science related to shaken baby syndrome. Recent scientific developments have led to the Texas “junk science” law, allowing those convicted based on discredited evidence to seek relief. Medical experts now suggest Nikki may have died from natural causes. A house committee has called for a pause in Robertson’s execution, with representatives advocating for a new trial to prevent irreversible mistakes in capital punishment.
A Texas man’s execution was halted on Thursday. Robert Robertson was convicted of killing his 2-year-old daughter more than 20 years ago. He will testify before members of the Texas Legislature today.
