Stop Executions
The Texas Supreme Court has halted the execution of Robert Roberson, which was scheduled for October 17, 2024. Roberson faced execution 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. Texas lawmakers took the unprecedented step of issuing a subpoena for Roberson as a final attempt to halt his execution.
At 12:00 PM CT on Monday, October 21, 2024, the Texas House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence will resume their hearings about Texas’ junk science law and the new scientific evidence in Roberson’s case. Watch the livestream.
