Roberson was convicted of killing his 2-year-old daughter in a “shaken baby” case that many say led to an innocent man’s death sentence.

The Texas Supreme Court on Friday denied a state house committee’s attempt to delay the execution of a man convicted of murder in the 2002 death of his 2-year-old daughter, clearing a path for a new execution date.

Texas lawmakers exceeded their power when they intervened last month to stop the execution of Robert Roberson by summoning him to testify, the court found.

The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that the execution of Robert Roberson, convicted in his daughter’s “shaken baby” death, can’t be stopped by a legislative subpoena, after lawmakers made a last-ditch effort to pause the process.

After months of delays and an attempt for clemency​, the execution of Robert Roberson will resume, according to a new filing​ from the Texas Supreme Court.

The Texas Supreme Court ruled that a legislative subpoena cannot be used to stop an execution, putting a decisive end to a legal battle that halted the scheduled execution of Robert Roberson last month.

The Texas Supreme Court on Friday said the state could set a new execution date for a man convicted of murdering his toddler on evidence of "shaken baby syndrome," ruling that a legislative committee exceeded its authority in delaying the sentence.

It is the latest twist in the political saga surrounding the Roberson case, which drew national attention and sparked fresh rifts within the Republican party.

The Texas Supreme Court on Friday said the execution of Robert Roberson, which would be the first over a death from shaken baby syndrome, can move forward after halting it last month.
