Is Melissa Lucio Innocent on Death Row?
Manage episode 318791859 series 2809089
Sabrina Van Tassel is an investigative reporter, director and producer, and she joins us today for the second time to update us on the development of Melissa Lucio’s case, explored in her documentary The State of Texas vs. Melissa.
Melissa Lucio has spent over a decade on death row for the alleged murder of her two-year-old daughter, Mariah. In 2008, Lucio became the first Latina woman sentenced to death in Texas. She is now scheduled to be executed on April 27, 2022.
However, when we look back at Melissa’s case, there is a huge amount of doubt about what really happened and how the trial process went.
IF YOU WANT TO HELP, HERE’S HOW:
Sign this petition sponsored by Death Penalty Action, asking the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to watch The State of Texas vs. Melissa and to recommend that Governor Greg Abbott grant clemency to Melissa Lucio.
