Texas will put Roberson to death unless he is granted clemency.

Robert Roberson was sentenced to death for the death of his daughter, Nikki .

Roberson 's behavior was seen as evidence of guilt because he is not neurotypical and has autism.

A nurse who suggested that Nikki had been sexually abused was allowed to stand unchallenged.

Governor Greg Abbott has the power of life and death over Roberson .
