88] – Melissa Lucio has spent over a decade on death row in Texas for a crime she did not commit and now faces an execution date of April 27, 2022 for the murder of her two-year-old daughter, Mariah, despite strong forensic evidence and eyewitness accounts that Mariah's death was accidental. Protective service records and recorded interviews with her children show that Ms. Lucio was not abusive with her children. At the time of her arrest, Melissa Lucio had no record of violence.

  If you are able, I urge you to watch the film, "The State of Texas Vs. Melissa," an award-winning new documentary which sheds light on the controversy of her conviction, revealing a case with no investigation, a coerced confession, an incomplete defense, and a corrupt D.A., Armando Villalobos, who is now serving a 13-year federal prison sentence for bribery and extortion and misused the case of Melissa for running his re-election. See https://gathr.us/screening/31669. Melissa's fate now lies in the hands of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles and Governor Greg Abbott.

Please call the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles (512-406-5852) and Governor Abbott (512-463-1782) and request clemency for Melissa. If you want, write a personal letter to the Texas BPP at Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, Clemency Section, 8610 Shoal Creek Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78757-- Regarding the Case of Melissa Lucio-TDCJ #999537. To write a personal letter to Governor Abbott, send to Office of the Governor, P.O.
