Texas House members are weighing whether the shaken baby syndrome theory should have been used in convicting Robert Roberson of the 2002 death of his 2-year-old daughter.

Lawyers for Robert Roberson say the science used to sentence him to death is questionable and that prior health issues could explain the death of his 2-year-old daughter in 2002.
