No matter what happens, you know, I'm going home to free will.

To-infinitive

Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has halted the execution of Texas death row inmate Robert Roberson.

Roberson was accused of killing his 2 year old daughter back in 2002.

Prosecutors said he had violently abused her and shaken her, but

his lawyers say that that was a misdiagnosis by doctors at the time and that he is actually innocent.

The day before the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has spared his life.

We spent an hour speaking with Robert Roberson inside Texas death row.

I was told that this could very well be the last news interview you give.

If your execution date isn't changed, if it's not stopped, it could be very well be.

If this is your last chance to convince them that I'm actually innocent, that I didn't do it, you know, I'm actually interested.

I love my little girl, you know, so you talk about that.

At times you find yourself, you have like this righteous anger.

But I also sense that you still are keeping hope.

Is that hard to kind of hold on to as the days tick down?

Because I know the truth, God knows the truth and stuff.

You know, no matter what happens, you know, I'm going home to free world.

I'm going home to be with the Lord, right?

And no matter what happens, let God get the glory in them.

The bottom line is that Robert Roberson now has a chance to try to get a new trial.

And an execution that was supposed to happen just a week ago has been halted.
