More than half of the Texas house of representatives ASK the state’s parole board to stop next month’s planned execution of Melissa Lucio

7/20/2022

 
Widely circulated doubts of Lucio’s guilt in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, as well as a call for mercy from her other children, spurred a bipartisan group of nearly 90 lawmakers to plead with the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles and Gov. Greg Abbott to either change Lucio’s death sentence to one of life in prison or halt her execution for three months.
'When we do everything that we can to ensure that an innocent Texan is not put to death by the state, or even a potentially innocent Texan is not put to death by the state … we are strengthening our criminal justice system,” state Rep. Jeff Leach'

 Cornell students are raising awareness about the case of Melissa Lucio, the only Latina currently on Texas’ death row ​as part of the Cornell Center on the Death Penalty Worldwide’s Her Whole Truth project — which aims to tell the stories of women on death row around the world --


Melissa Lucio i also  supported by the Innocence Project.

“  To the rest of us,” said his attorney David Kochman, “Billy’s legacy will be his indomitable spirit of perseverance and positivity. Undeterred by the circumstances of his confinement, his beautiful spirit rose above to invigorate and inspire every life he touched. ‘If Billy can do it, then so can I’ is a touchstone that will endure as a wellspring of strength. His was a full and impactful life.”
