Stop Executions
Around 9:45 PM on October 17, 2024, the night Robert Roberson was set to be put to death, the Supreme Court of Texas reinstated the temporary restraining order requested by Texas lawmakers, who had issued a subpoena for Roberson as a final attempt to halt his execution. Roberson has spent more than 20 years on death row for a crime that never occurred. Overwhelming new scientific and medical evidence shows that his chronically ill two-year-old daughter, Nikki, died because of serious health issues, including undiagnosed pneumonia. At this time, litigation remains pending at the Supreme Court of Texas.
