HOUSTON -- A judge on Wednesday set a new execution date for Robert Roberson, a Texas man who won a last-minute reprieve last year and could become the first person in the U.S. to be put to death for a murder conviction tied to a diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a motion asking the judge to set a new execution date for Roberson. The judge is expected to hear arguments from both sides during today’s hearing. Stay with KHOU 11 and stream the hearing live on KHOU 11+ for updates.
