Please stop, a man is about to get wrongfully executed for a crime he didn't commit.
Robert Robertson is an autistic man on death row set on October 17th for a crime he never comitted. The entire case against him has been rooted in ableism, and Texas plans to murder him for it. He's been on death row for over twenty years.
Robert's two-year-old, chronically-ill daughter, Nikki, passed away in the hospital due to prior medical conditions after falling from her bed. Staff misjudged Robert's reaction to her death as "lacking emotion" when it was really a common autistic trait. He was not diagnosed for autism until 2018, well after the trial, in which his autistics traits were used to paint him as a cold and remorseless man, which was not clearly not the case.
The jury was told that Nikki was killed by shaken baby syndrome, and that there was sound proof behind that. That was a lie, many medics and scientists have confirmed that the evidence shows that she died from accidental and natural causes, and was not killed by her father. Therefore, the crime never happened.
