The Texas Attorney General’s Office had harsh words for lawmakers trying to stall the execution of Robert Roberson, an autistic death row inmate who they say was convicted of “shaken baby syndrome” using “junk science.”
It is the first time the office has weighed in on the topic since Roberson’s execution via lethal injection was halted last week by the Texas Supreme Court, a civil forum, after the majority of the inmate’s legal avenues had been exhausted.
