Texas Board Rejects Clemency for Man Facing Execution in Shaken Baby Case

Robert Roberson's execution looms as new evidence questions the validity of his conviction for his daughter's death.

Robert Roberson, convicted in 2003 for the death of his daughter, is set to be executed despite new evidence suggesting innocence.
The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles unanimously denied clemency, leaving the decision to Governor Greg Abbott.
Roberson's conviction is based on a disputed shaken baby syndrome diagnosis, which recent medical insights challenge.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers and experts argue that Roberson's daughter died from natural causes related to pneumonia.
Governor Abbott has previously halted an execution only once, raising uncertainty about Roberson's fate.
