The Texas Supreme Court on Friday denied a state house committee’s attempt to delay the execution of a man convicted of murder in the 2002 death of his 2-year-old daughter, clearing a path for a new execution date.

Roberson was convicted of killing his 2-year-old daughter in a “shaken baby” case that many say led to an innocent man’s death sentence.

The Catholic Church teaches that the death penalty is “inadmissible,” even for people who have committed heinous crimes.
