Melissa Lucio, who was on death row for the murder of her daughter, received a striking recommendation from a state judge declaring her 'actually innocent'. Judge Arturo Nelson found significant evidence that contradicted the conviction, including false testimony and suppressed evidence. Lucio's conviction will now be reviewed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, which has the power to vacate her sentence based on this recommendation. The case has attracted widespread public attention, including support from high-profile advocates and bipartisan lawmakers, highlighting issues in capital punishment and wrongful convictions.
