A Texas man who could be the first person in the U.S. executed for a murder conviction tied to the diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome is facing a lethal injection.
A unanimous vote by a Texas House committee successfully subpoenaed a death row inmate scheduled to receive death by lethal injection for the 2002 killing of his 2-year-old daughter.
The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles on Wednesday rejected a clemency request for a man facing execution over a shaken baby syndrome despite doubts over the evidence in the case.
