Robert Roberson is an innocent father who has spent over 20 years on Texas’s death row for a crime that never occurred and a conviction based on the outdated and now debunked shaken baby hypothesis. New evidence shows that Mr. Roberson’s daughter, Nikki, died of natural and accidental causes. Robert would be the first person in the U.S. executed based on the discredited shaken baby hypothesis unless the courts or Gov. Abbott intervene.

Stop scrolling. This is an emergency. Texas has set Innocence Project client Robert Roberson’s execution for Oct. 17, for a crime that never even occurred.
In September, we learned that the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals denied Robert’s appeal and motion to stay his Oct. 17 execution for a crime that never occurred. This decision was made despite the new medical and scientific evidence that proves Robert’s daughter, Nikki, died of natural causes, not from any inflicted injury, let alone a homicide.
Robert could be the first person executed in the U.S. based on the debunked “shaken baby syndrome” on Oct. 17.
Robert’s fate now rests with Gov. Abbott and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, there is still hope to prevent this irreversible mistake.
