Save Robert Roberson.

from Set For Sentencing · host Doug Passon

Robert Roberson is set to be executed by the state of Texas on October 16, 2025.   But he is innocent.  He has spent 20 years on death row, having been convicted of killing his 2 year old daughter Nikki. Robert's wrongful conviction was based on the now universally debunked theory of "shaken baby syndrome".  But autism plays a significant role in this tragedy as well, because the powers that be misinterpreted Robert's "odd" behavior, as evidence of his guilt.       Robert's case has garnered BIPARTISAN support in the TEXAS legislature.  Even the lead detective in the case now unequivocally concludes Robert is innocent.  Lastly, a cadre of independent experts have presented unassailable evidence that Nikki's death was not a homicide. But despite all of this, the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, and the governor, Greg Abbot, refuse to stop this injustice. Now, it is up to us.  Please listen to this episode, which includes two experts from the case, and then ACT. You can: 1) Call Gov. Abbot (737-277-6778) or reach out to him online and ask him to use his power to grant a 30 day reprieve to allow the courts to rule on his pending petion for a new trial; 2) Visit the innocence project and sign their petition https://innocenceproject.org/cases/robert-roberson/ 3) Show up for a rally in support of Mr. Roberson, on October 4 at 1:00pm at the Texas Capitol in Austin, TX.   ADDITIONAL LINKS:   Watch New York Times Opinion Video by former lead detective Brian Wharton here.
