A new execution date is being requested for an East Texas man who avoided his death sentence last year. The request comes from Attorney General Ken Paxton regarding 58-year-old Robert Roberson the Third.
Roberson was convicted of capital murder in 2003 for allegedly shaking his two-year-old daughter to death. Lawmakers intervened at the last second to delay his execution set for last October to allow him to testify before a House committee. Roberson never testified after two attempts were thwarted by Paxton. Attorneys say Roberson is innocent and his daughter died after falling from her bed.
