Autistic man faces death penalty

Hi all- thank you very much for taking the time to watch our video on the case of Robert Roberson, who is currently facing execution this October. This video discusses Mr. Roberson's case and our reasons for believing that he is likely innocent, as well as autism and the death penalty more generally.

We wanted to make this video quickly given the time-sensitive nature of it. We have done our best to convey details accurately, but want to note that we are neither medical nor legal professionals and all opinions are our own. We have included below links with additional specifics of the case.
