About the Book

The Robert Roberson Case: How Flawed Forensics, Evolving Science, Hidden Biases, and Junk Science Laws Challenge the Verdict In the quiet town of Palestine, Texas, a father's life unraveled in January 2002 when Robert Roberson brought his two-year-old daughter, Nikki Curtis, to a hospital, only to face accusations of her murder. Convicted based on a diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome, Roberson has spent over two decades on death row, steadfastly maintaining his innocence. The Robert Roberson Case looks into the Robersons' case, from the initial investigation and trial to the groundbreaking legal interventions that halted his execution in October 2025. The book traces the evolution of scientific understanding surrounding abusive head trauma, revealing how shifting medical paradigms have challenged the certainty of Roberson's conviction. It examines the role of Texas's 2013 junk science law, which prompted the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals to remand the case for further review, spotlighting the precedent set by a similar case that overturned a conviction based on outdated forensic evidence. Through accounts of courtroom proceedings, medical debates, and legislative efforts, the narrative captures the tension between a justice system seeking finality and the persistent quest for truth amid evolving knowledge. The book explores the human dimensions of the case, including the impact of Roberson's undiagnosed autism, which shaped perceptions of his guilt during the investigation. It chronicles the tireless advocacy of his legal team, bolstered by an unlikely coalition of conservative and liberal lawmakers, medical experts, and public figures, all united in their call for a reexamination of the evidence. The narrative also confronts the perspectives of those who uphold the original verdict, including prosecutors and family members who believe justice was served. By bringing together legal analysis, scientific discourse, and personal accounts, The Robert Roberson Case offers a comprehensive examination of a case that raises profound questions about the reliability of forensic science, the influence of bias in judicial processes, and the ethical weight of capital punishment. As Roberson's case awaits further review, this book examines the challenges of achieving justice in an imperfect system where the stakes are life and death.
