Stop Executions
Robert Roberson faces execution tonight, 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 tonight Roberson could become the first person in the United States to be executed based on the debunked and discredited “shaken baby syndrome” hypothesis unless Governor Abbott or the U.S. Supreme Court intervene.

Call the Governor’s office to #SaveRoberson.
