The decision affirms a lower court’s ruling nullifying Jimmie “Chris” Duncan’s 1998 first-degree murder conviction. Duncan was convicted based in part on forensic evidence that is now widely regarded as junk science.
There’s a man on death row in Texas, named Robert Roberson. He’s come days from execution at one point, and he’s VERY likely innocent. He was accused of killing his daughter through “shaken baby syndrome” and it was long since proven to be junk science.
He’s got a stay now and is awaiting a new trial.
If there’s ANY chance of executing someone innocent, it should be abolished, and because it’s brutal and has no place in this day and age.
