A group of bipartisan state lawmakers traveled Friday afternoon to the Allan B. Polunsky Unit to meet, pray and share hope with an East Texas man who has spent the past two decades on death row. Yet, less than three weeks out from his second execution date, Robert Roberson was by far the most hopeful person in the room, they said.
Roberson, 57, was convicted of capital murder in 2003 for reportedly shaking his 2-year-old daughter, Nikki, to death. He is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on Oct. 17 in Huntsville.
