Publisher's Synopsis
In "The Robert Roberson Case: Controversy of Shaken Baby Syndrome," bestselling author Mike Harris takes readers into the heart of one of the most polarizing legal battles in Texas history. When two-year-old Nikki Curtis dies unexpectedly, her father, Robert Roberson, is charged with murder based on a controversial diagnosis: shaken baby syndrome (SBS). What follows is a decades-long courtroom drama filled with disputed medical evidence, high-stakes legal maneuvers, and the relentless pursuit of justice - or a tragic miscarriage of it.
This gripping true crime book unravels the complex story of a man sentenced to death, relying on a medical theory now under intense scrutiny. With in-depth research, interviews, and a thorough examination of court records, Harris explores the science behind shaken baby syndrome, the evolving medical debates, and the chilling possibility that an innocent man may face execution due to outdated forensic practices.
"The Robert Roberson Case" offers readers an inside look at the legal system's failures, the emotional toll on both families, and the tireless advocacy efforts that sought to halt the execution. It raises urgent questions about the reliability of forensic evidence, the role of expert testimonies, and the ethics of capital punishment in cases plagued by doubt.
A must-read for true crime enthusiasts, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the dark side of the justice system, this book will leave you questioning what happens when science, law, and the search for truth collide.
