Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is blasting state lawmakers for delaying the execution of a man convicted of killing his 2-year-old daughter and trying to dispute claims that he was sentenced based on "junk science." Robert Roberson was scheduled to be executed last week for murdering his daughter, Nikki, in East Texas in 2002.That execution was halted so Roberson could testify to lawmakers.
"Everything that was presented to us was all about shaken baby syndrome," Terre Compton told committee members on Monday. "That was what our decision was based on.
