JUST IN: Texas court delays execution of Melissa Lucio, the only Latina on the state's death row, who was set to be executed Wednesday.
Lucio was sentenced to death 14 years ago in a capital murder case involving her daughter, Mariah. Prosecutors said at her trial that Lucio physically abused the toddler and that Mariah had bruises on her body, signs of a head injury, and an untreated broken arm when she died in February 2007.Her legal team denied those claims and argued that prosecutors built their case around false medical evidence and a coerced confession following an hourslong interrogation with Texas Rangers.
On the day of the incident, Mariah was crying but did not seem to be seriously injured, Lucio’s lawyers have said. The girl died two days later. The current district attorney of Cameron County, Luis Saenz, did not respond to a request for comment, but he had been under pressure from activists and Lucio's family to withdraw the death warrant. During a contentious hearing with state House lawmakers on April 12, Saenz suggested he might halt the execution if the state did not intervene, but also said he had no legal reason to get involved..
