Robert Roberson, a Texas man sentenced to death for the 2002 death of his two-year-old daughter, has filed an emergency motion with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals (CCA) seeking a stay of execution and oral argument to present what his attorneys describe as overwhelming new evidence of innocence.
Roberson, who is scheduled to be executed on October 16, 2025, was previously granted a temporary reprieve in 2024 after a bipartisan group of lawmakers intervened just days before his execution.
