I'm afraid that this man's life is in the hands of a Supreme Court, whose majority i do not trust.

"Robert Roberson was convicted of murdering his two-year-old daughter on the basis of the now largely discredited shaken baby syndrome theory"

1. Shaken baby syndrome is a real thing

Children do die from it.

The issue is with diagnosing with certainty because the symptoms occur with other head trauma. On no account should you shake an infant.

2. The 'junk science' phrase used in the article, seems to be, as you say, diagnosing with certainty.

"In 2001, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the world’s leading pediatric medical organization, issued official guidance. It said that where a young child had internal head injuries there was “the need for a presumption of child abuse” – a categoric finding that rapidly became medical, and then forensic dogma."

No one saw him shake the child. There seems to have been no evidence that he had ever harmed the child previously. He's been sentence to die solely because of the evidence of the internal head injury.
