Beschreibung | Melissa Elizabeth Lucio (born July 18, 1968) is the first woman of Hispanic descent in Texas to be sentenced to death. She was convicted of capital murder after the death of her two-year-old daughter, Mariah. Her case was the subject of the 2020 documentary, The State of Texas vs. Melissa. Lucio has maintained her innocence and Cornell Law School professor Sandra Babcock has called the prosecution "by far the weakest capital case I've ever seen". |
