SUMMARY: The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily blocked the execution of Robert Robertson, following a judge’s order from Travis County. Robertson argues that his conviction for shaken baby syndrome relies on outdated science and that he is entitled to a new trial under Texas’s “junk science” law, although past appeals have failed. The Attorney General appealed the initial restraining order, which was vacated by the Criminal Court of Appeals but later reinstated by the Supreme Court. Robertson will remain on death row, and a new death warrant, if necessary, cannot be issued for at least 91 days.
