Texas Supreme Court Allows Robert Roberson's Execution to Proceed

TL;DR Summary
The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that the execution of Robert Roberson, convicted for the 2002 murder of his 2-year-old daughter based on a "shaken baby syndrome" diagnosis, can proceed. Roberson's case has been controversial, with his legal team arguing that new evidence suggests his daughter died from pneumonia-related complications, not abuse. Despite support from lawmakers and experts questioning the diagnosis's validity, Texas officials maintain that Roberson's conviction and death sentence are lawful.
