SUMMARY: A Texas appeals court has overruled a temporary block on the execution of Robert Roberson, scheduled for 6 p.m. Roberson was convicted of killing his 2-year-old daughter in 2002 and has drawn national attention, especially as lawmakers sought to subpoena him as a witness in a hearing on flawed scientific evidence in his case. Despite a Travis County Judge’s temporary restraining order, the Court of Criminal Appeals intervened, allowing the execution to proceed. Lawmakers are making a final appeal to the Texas Supreme Court, while Governor Abbott has not yet responded. The execution could happen late tonight pending developments.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed a Travis County judge’s court order that delayed the controversial execution of Robert Roberson. Roberson would be the first person in the US executed for a murder conviction tied to the diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome.
