In a dramatic turn of events, the scheduled execution of Robert Roberson, a Texas man convicted in a controversial shaken baby syndrome case, was temporarily blocked by a Travis County judge just minutes before it was set to take place. Legal efforts to halt the execution included a last-minute temporary restraining order, as well as appeals for clemency which were denied by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles. Lawmakers also took unusual steps, issuing subpoenas and pushing for intervention from Governor Greg Abbott, amid growing concerns that Roberson may be wrongfully convicted for a crime that did not occur. The execution, which some argue could mark a significant moment as the first in the U.S. related to shaken baby syndrome, is now delayed as legal battles continue and the case garners increasing attention from advocates and medical experts questioning the validity of the conviction.
