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.
“Experts reject” carries no weight in today’s landscape. It does not rule out the experts who could approve, of which there always are.
Classic cherrypicking to support an agenda. This case, it’s because they don’t like the death penalty.
Do you mean it carries no weight with yourself? It may not matter to the state or system if they are going to be authoritarians and reject evidence, but it SHOULD fucking matter to us, to the people who live here and vote and make laws that are supposed to be just and equitable.
Or is this emotion?
It’s emotion isn’t it. You are so angry at even the notion that someone harmed a baby that you are willing to abandon the standards on which our legal system has been built on? They did this also to justify killing thousands and thousands of civilians in Gaza, they knew how easily they could get people to abandon reason when they put the image of dead babies in their head.
Welcome to being a reactionary. Don’t worry, you’re not alone, the worst people in the world are down there too.
edit: just noticed you’re a troll, don’t bother replying. Go masturbate to your own dirty socks or whatever the fuck people like you do for fun.
Littleguy with little brain cherrypicking your own ‘proof’ because you love the death penalty.
Seems to be a troll account. I ran into him on another thread where he’s arguing men have fewer rights than women because of Selective Service paperwork.
Day old account with negative karma. Of course they’re a troll. Ignore them, move on with your life.
Probably wants a tradwife then.
Nah it’s the experts with their radical “life continues after conviction” agenda. These pro life sickos just want adults to die of natural causes rather than how the government decides they should die. /s
Guess there’s no way to know anything then, so we may as well have a blood sacrifice for the blood god!
Fuck it, let’s bring back gibbets too; that way people will know what happens when they get caught by some pseudoscience quack with a chip on their shoulder and an army of meatheads who get violent when their authority is questioned.
