The State of Texas is preparing to execute Robert Roberson next month. In 2002 Roberson was convicted of the shaken baby death of his two-year-old daughter, Nikki.
Last year, Roberson came within 90 minutes of being executed. But new analysis of medical evidence shows that Nikki died from an illness and not abuse.
The Center for Integrity in Forensic Sciences (CIFS) is calling on Texas authorities to prevent what they say is the wrongful execution of Roberson. He is scheduled to [be killed] on October 16.
Texas is going to kill him anyway, regardless of his innocence. Pro-life my ass.
I’ve said it before, I will say it again. I will believe that corporations are people the moment that Texas executes one.
Texas and conservatives broadly are absolutely fine with killing many innocent people.
See: how they handle healthcare, family planning and vaccines. To say nothing of the untold millions who will die over the next decade in the coming economic collapse sparked by the USA’s tariffs and cancellation of aid programs.

This is what happens when we give the state the right to murder people. Everyone imagines righteous justice, but it’s just murder. Always murder.
Ah yes, the super effective death penalty that has measurable effects when it comes to deterring crime. It’ s a good thing the justice system never makes mistakes when prosecuting. /s
This will deter others from letting their baby contract an illness. Keep your baby in an airtight bag at all times.
At least it’s inexpensive!
that’s what I don’t get about the whole thing. if you’re going to have the death penalty, just fucking do it. get it done with
both having it and an appeals process is just fucking stupid. just send them off to live the rest of their life in prison with the regular process and stop spending extra resources on it
