Nearly everyone, except the members of the Supreme Court, in Texas agreed Mr. Roberson was railroaded into prison on death row. Yet, the Texas Supremes rather lean into academics and theory rather than reality and facts that affect the life of a man.

The Mayo Clinic recommends identifying a family at risk with early intervention to help parents avoid harm to an infant.
Yet, with astounding testimony to the wrongful conviction of Robert Roberson the Texas Supreme Court decided on the idea that somehow Texas legislators were attempting to only prolong his life.
The Texas Supreme Court is wrong in all counts. Assigning a decision based on the importance of academics is as least as bad as the practices of the Roberts’ Court in DC.
With such overwhelming evidence to Mr. Robeson’s innocence the Texas Supreme Coirt should have been appalled and ordered at the very least a new trial.
The Texas Supreme Court is not recognizing separation of powers. The courts have no right to decide what hearings are prudent to the legislature. If a freely elected legislature decides they need to understand fully
what “Shaken Baby Syndrome” is and how it is applied to the death of a child, then they have a right to not only hold a hearing but to have any and all witnesses testify.
The purpose of any legislative hearing is to recognize a need for laws to be written to best serve, in this case, the people of Texas.
There has been an outcry to stop Mr. Roberson’s execution for all the right reasons. What the Texas Supreme Court is saying is damn the facts and the rights of the Texas legislature. Basically, they are saying death of an innocent man is right to serve as a deterrent and damn good lesson to inadequate parents.
The Roberson conviction and most recent Texas Super Court decision needs to be set aside through the actions of the Texas governor. He could order further investigation to all the facts furthering the cause of justice.
Robert Roberson is not a first degree murderer. The death penalty is clearly wrong.
