Ken Paxton says the autopsy report proves Roberson was convicted of beating his child and leaving her with extensive head wounds, and the jury did not convict him on the basis of"shaken baby syndrome."
His scheduled Oct. 17 execution was delayed by the Texas Supreme Court, and now, there are cries for his life to be spared, but Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton strongly disagrees. His attorneys argue new medical evidence suggests the child died of pneumonia, not shaken baby syndrome. Roberson was found guilty based on the testimony from a pediatrician who said the baby died of 'shaken baby syndrome' diagnosis even though there is limited evidence.
