A Texas man, Robert Roberson, is set to face a lethal injection in Huntsville, Texas, for the 2002 murder of his 2-year-old daughter, Nikki Curtis. Roberson's case has garnered attention due to assertions of innocence based on faulty scientific evidence.
Despite maintaining his innocence, Roberson's clemency petition was denied by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, with Governor Greg Abbott being his last hope for a reprieve. The parole board voted against recommending a commutation of his death sentence or a delay in his execution.
