A Texas House committee has unanimously voted to subpoena death row inmate Robert Roberson, who is scheduled to receive a lethal injection for the alleged 2002 killing of his 2-year-old daughter. Roberson's case involves the controversial issue of shaken baby syndrome, a serious brain injury caused by violent shaking or impact to a child's head.
Despite doubts surrounding the evidence in the case, Roberson was denied clemency for the death penalty. The subpoena, issued with the assistance of committee members Brian Harris, Joe Moody, David Cook, Nate Schatzline, Drew Darby, and Rhetta Andrews Bowers, requests Roberson to provide relevant testimony and information for the committee's inquiry.
