在上诉法院质疑他 2003 年动摇婴儿定罪背后的不稳定科学后，一名得克萨斯州男子的处决被搁置。 A Texas man’s execution is stayed after an appeals court questioned the shaky science behind his 2003 shaken baby conviction.

得克萨斯州男子Robert Roberson在上诉法院对2003年判定他有罪的摇晃婴儿综合症诊断的可靠性提出质疑后,获准暂缓执行死刑。 A Texas man, Robert Roberson, has been granted a stay of execution after an appeals court questioned the reliability of the shaken baby syndrome diagnosis used to convict him in 2003. 这一裁决是在对医学理论进行越来越多的审查之后作出的,医学理论依靠的是目前多达50种非破坏性条件下的“三重伤害”。 The ruling follows growing scrutiny over the medical theory, which relies on a "triad" of injuries now linked to up to 50 non-abusive conditions. Roberson是自闭症患者,坚持说女儿死于未经诊断的肺炎,他的辩护认为他的冷静行为被误解为有罪。 Roberson, who is autistic, maintains his daughter died from undiagnosed pneumonia, and his defense argues his calm demeanor was misinterpreted as guilt. 这一决定反映了更广泛的国家和国际辩论,新泽西州和伊利诺伊州的法院拒绝接受诊断为“垃圾科学”,自1990年代以来,根据有缺陷的证据推翻了40多宗美国案件。 The decision reflects a broader national and international debate, with courts in New Jersey and Illinois rejecting the diagnosis as "junk science," and over 40 U.S. cases overturned since the 1990s based on flawed evidence.
