#274 Jason Flom with Robert Roberson

2 year old Nicki Bowman had a history of respiratory issues that were raging in late January 2002 for which she was prescribed a drug that is now known to cause fatal respiratory depression in children. On January 31, 2002, her father, Robert Roberson, awoke to her cry and found Nicki on the floor at their home in Palestine, Texas, and after a while, they again both fell asleep. Robert later awoke to find Nicki unresponsive and turning blue, and immediately, took her to the hospital. Nicki was found to have a minor bump on the back of her head that could not account for severe internal issues - the triad of findings typically associated with Shaken Baby Syndrome. After voluntarily speaking with medical personnel and the police, Roberson was assumed to have murdered Nicki when he claimed that he “shook” her upon finding her unresponsive. The state cast unfounded aspersion of sexual assault, and Robert was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death by lethal injection.
