Texas Supreme Court Allows Execution of Robert Roberson to Proceed

The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that the execution of Robert Roberson, convicted of killing his two-year-old daughter, can proceed after being paused due to legal challenges and public outcry. Roberson, who maintains his innocence, was initially set to be executed for a murder related to "shaken baby syndrome." His lawyers argue new evidence suggests the child died from pneumonia complications. Despite a temporary restraining order and a subpoena from Texas lawmakers to address new scientific developments, the court decided the execution should move forward, rejecting Roberson's appeals and clemency requests.
