Robert Roberson, a Texas man on death row, is facing execution on October 17 for a conviction linked to 'shaken baby syndrome,' a contentious and widely criticized diagnosis. Despite the state court's denial of his appeals, bipartisan lawmakers, advocates, and even the original detective involved in the case are urging for clemency, asserting that Roberson is innocent and no crime was committed. Public figures, including author John Grisham, have joined the campaign to halt the execution, emphasizing serious doubts about the validity of the evidence used to convict Roberson. As the execution date approaches, calls for intervention continue to swell, highlighting the ongoing debate surrounding the reliability of 'shaken baby syndrome' as a legal standard.
