  Speaker 3: In Texas, the state's highest criminal court has denied a
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: last ditch effort to stop the upcoming execution of Robert Robertson,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: a man convicted of killing his two year old daughter
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: more than two decades ago. Robertson, who has spent twenty
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: years on death row, has long maintained that his conviction
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: was based on flawed science. The Texas Court of Criminal
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Appeals rejected Robertson's request for a stay of execution, as
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: well as a new appeal filed by his attorneys. This
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: ruling leaves his execution scheduled for October seventeen. That's unless
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles grants him clemency.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Robertson was sentenced to death in two thousand three for
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: the death of his daughter, Niki Curtis. He has consistently
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: asserted that her death was accidental, claiming she fell from
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: a bed while they were sleeping in their home in Palestine.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Texas medical professionals at the time rejected his account, pointing
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: to evidence they believed was consistent with shaken baby syndrome,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: a controversial diagnosis used to explain severe brain injuries in infants.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: In twenty sixteen, Robertson's acad execution was halted after questions
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: were raised about the reliability of shaken baby syndrome as
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: a cause of death in criminal cases. Critics of the
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: diagnosis argue that it has been used too frequently without
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: thorough consideration of other medical explanations. Despite this, in twenty
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: twenty three, the court ruled that the doubts raised about
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: the cause of Nicky's death were insufficient to overturn Robertson's
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: conviction or death sentence. Now, with the execution date approaching,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Robertson's legal options are dwindling. Only a successful clemency appeal
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: could prevent the state from carrying out his sentence next month.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Now to Alabama, as the state is urging a judge
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: to reject a request to film its next execution by
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: nitrogen gas, a new method recently used to carry out
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the death penalty. Here Sidney Sumner of Crime Online.

  Speaker 2: The requests submitted by defense attorneys representing death Row in
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Maate kerry Dale Greason seeks to record the scheduled execution
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: of Alan Miller on September twenty sixth. The attorneys are
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: questioning the constitutionality of nitrogen gas executions, citing the controversial
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: case of Kenneth Smith, who became the first person in
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the US to be executed by this method earlier this year.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Witnesses to Smith's death reported disturbing movements, describing how he
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: shook on the gurney for several minutes. However, Alabama Attorney
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: General Steve Marshall maintained that the execution win is planned,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: calling it a textbook procedure. Greyson's legal team argues that
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: filming the upcoming execution would provide crucial evidence about the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: method's humanity, stating it would create a clear and accurate record.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Historically, courts have been reluctant to allow recordings of executions,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: making the defense's request an unusual one in the ongoing
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: debate over capital punishment methods.
