The Texas Supreme Court issued a last-minute stay of execution for Robert Roberson, a death row inmate believed by many to be innocent after spending over two decades in prison. Roberson's conviction stemmed from allegations of shaken baby syndrome, a theory his attorneys argue is now discredited. The stay was granted shortly before his scheduled lethal injection, following a flurry of legal activities, including a temporary restraining order from a Travis County judge. Supporters, including activists and lawmakers, celebrated the decision outside the state penitentiary, advocating against the death penalty. Roberson expressed shock and began praying upon hearing the news, while his supporters remain hopeful for a more permanent resolution to his case. As the legal battle continues, the Texas House committee plans to subpoena Roberson to testify in October regarding his conviction.
