Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty

Stop Executions
Robert Roberson faces execution on October 17, 2024, for a crime that never occurred. There is overwhelming new scientific and medical evidence that his chronically ill two-year-old daughter, Nikki, died of natural and accidental causes. Yet Roberson could soon become the first person in the United States to be executed based on the debunked and discredited “shaken baby syndrome” hypothesis unless we act.
