Nov. 15 (UPI) -- The Texas Supreme Court on Friday said the execution of Robert Robersoncan move forward after halting it last month.

The court ruling could make Roberson the first person executed on evidence of a death related to shaken baby syndrome, which many experts have called into question as unreliable over the years. Roberson was convicted in 2002, of the death of his 2-year-old daughter Nikki Curtis.
