The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on Monday granted a stay of execution for Melissa Lucio, her attorneys introduced in a press release, halting her execution scheduled for Wednesday.
Lucio, her household, advocates and attorneys say she was wrongfully convicted of capital homicide within the 2007 death of her toddler Mariah.
The court remanded a number of of Lucio’s claims to the trial court for assessment, in keeping with its order.
“I thank God for my life. I have always trusted in Him,” Lucio mentioned in a press release shared by her authorized crew. “I am grateful the Court has given me the chance to live and prove my innocence. Mariah is in my heart today and always.”
This is a growing story and will likely be up to date.
