Texas death row inmate Robert Roberson continues fighting for his life. On Wednesday his defense attorney once again asked the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals (CCA) to grant him relief, citing medical evidence allegedly attesting to the unreliability of his daughter's autopsy.
Among the new evidence is a joint statement from 10 independent pathologists "attesting the unreliability of the cause and manner of death conclusions" in the toddler's autopsy report and an affidavit of Dr. Michael Laposata, a pathologist with special expertise in bleeding disorders, concluding that Nikki's death was not a homicide.
