Hi, it's Connor Hall, the producer for wrongful conviction.

Today we're sharing Lamont Hunter's story, not to share new developments in his case, but for how closely it resembles that of Robert Roberson.

We will be murdered by the state of Texas today, 6 p.m. Central Time October 17th 2024. In both cases there were

unfounded accusations of sexual assault that loomed large over their death

penalty prosecutions while medical experts for the state

touted tenants of the now debunked hypothesis known as shaken baby

syndrome. Only time could reveal the flaws in this untestable hypothesis.

Meanwhile, it was haphazardly dragged into courts across the globe as a decided matter.

Recently, even the neurologist who developed it back in 1971,

Dr. Norman Guthkelch said,

quote, I am frankly quite disturbed

that what I intended as a friendly suggestion

for avoiding injury to children has become an excuse for

imprisoning innocent parents."

End quote.

Yet Ohio, Texas, and almost everywhere else has not found the same courage to admit that they're wrong

as they continue to fight to maintain wrongful convictions as well as prosecute newly aggrieved and innocent parents.

And Robert Roberson will be the first of them to be put to death.

Governor Greg Abbott has the power to do something about it just like Governor Parsons in Missouri in the case of Marcellus Williams,

but innocence is not enough to set you free.

The Supreme Court decided that back in 1993, Herrera v Collins.

That's your system.
