The Case of Robert Roberson

Robert Roberson, a man on death row, was accused of killing his daughter Nikki, who had a history of severe health issues. After suffering a medical emergency, Nikki was diagnosed with shaken baby syndrome, leading to charges of capital murder against Robert. Key evidence in the case was built on the assumption of abuse based on three specific medical symptoms related to her condition, which the medical consensus at the time linked to violent shaking. Robert has consistently maintained his innocence, claiming Nikki's health problems were the cause of her tragic death.
