Robert Roberson
Robert Roberson is a 58-year-old man who has spent over two decades on death row in Texas, convicted of killing his two-year-old daughter, Nikki, in 2002. His case has garnered significant public attention and controversy, with many, including bestselling author John Grisham, advocating for his exoneration, arguing that he is innocent of the crime. Roberson's conviction is tied to alleged symptoms of Shaken Baby Syndrome, but there are substantial doubts about his culpability, leading to a bipartisan effort to halt his execution scheduled for October 16, 2023.
