LOS ANGELES (TCN) — Dr. Phil testified Monday, Oct. 21, in front of the Texas House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence and spoke on behalf of death row inmate Robert Roberson. Roberson, who was convicted of killing his daughter due to “shaken baby syndrome,” was set to be executed Thursday, Oct. 17, but was saved just 90 minutes before his scheduled lethal injection with a subpoena from the committee. Several experts and lawmakers have argued that Roberson’s daughter actually died from pneumonia and that the science around shaken baby syndrome has been debunked.
“True Crime News” host Ana Garcia spoke with Dr. Phil following his testimony, which you can watch in the video below.
