SUMMARY: Robert Robertson was wrongfully convicted of killing his daughter, Nikki, in 2002, based on the now-discredited shaken baby syndrome. Robertson, who only discovered he had autism during his incarceration, insists he loved his daughter and denies any abuse. Leading figures, including former detective Brian Wharton, now believe Robertson is innocent, asserting that Nikki likely died from pneumonia and inadequate care. A bipartisan group of Texas lawmakers, alongside the Innocence Project, are advocating for clemency and a reexamination of the case due to flawed science. A recent stay of execution allows for a hearing, where Robertson will testify about his wrongful conviction.

Robert Roberson was scheduled to be executed Thursday, but a bipartisan group of lawmakers set a legal chain of events in motion that led to a stay of execution.
