Texas Court Halts Execution Over Flawed Diagnosis

0:00 / 0:39

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has halted the execution of Robert Roberson, who maintains his innocence in the 2002 murder of his daughter. The court's decision comes as Roberson's legal team argued his conviction, based on a shaken baby syndrome diagnosis, is flawed due to evolving scientific understanding. This stay allows for further review, following a recent case where a similar conviction was overturned based on updated medical evidence. Roberson's supporters believe new findings and shifts in medical interpretation support his claims of innocence or, at minimum, a new trial.
