A Texas death row inmate is set to be executed next week for the alleged killing of his 2-year-old daughter in 2002. The inmate's lawyer argues that not only is her client innocent, but also that nobody is responsible for the child's death.
The inmate, Robert Roberson, is facing lethal injection on Oct. 17 for the death of his daughter, Nikki Curtis. Prosecutors claim that Nikki died from injuries consistent with shaken baby syndrome, making Roberson the first person in the U.S. to face execution based on this syndrome.
