Death Row: The case against Robert Roberson

from Koltergeist: True Crime Stories

Episode DescriptionRobert Roberson has been condemned on death row for over two decades—convicted of the unthinkable crime of murdering of his own daughter. The case seemed clear. The timeline, the testimony, the science—at first it all seemed to point in one direction.But what if it was wrong? Recently, new medical evidence has surfaced. Evidence that challenges the very foundation of the prosecution’s story and calls into question what really happened the night Nikki Curtis died… and whether her father ever should’ve been charged at all.This isn’t just a story about a conviction. It’s about what happens when grief, medicine, and justice intersect.Episode Sources:Nikki Curtis Autopsy Report.pdf https://innocenceproject.org/news/what-to-know-about-robert-roberson-on-texas-death-row-for-a-crime-that-never-occurred/FAMILY CODE CHAPTER 32.
