Texas court halts execution of death row inmate who claims innocence

A Texas court has again granted a stay of execution to death row inmate Robert Roberson, who has long claimed he is innocent in the murder of his 2-year-old daughter Nikki Curtis, saying his conviction based on a diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome was flawed. The ruling Thursday by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals halts Roberson’s execution scheduled to take place October 16, which his attorneys have said would be the first in the US based on an allegation of shaken baby syndrome.
