From coast to coast, the fight to save Melissa Lucio - scheduled for execution in just four days - hit the streets today.
To help drive attention to this case, Lucio's supporters placed a banner above interstate traffic along I-30 and Hotel Street in Dallas to send a message.
"We figured a banner drop would bring more attention as people drive and look up and wondering what's going on with Melissa Lucio," said Lucio supporter Carmen Ayala. Lucio's attorneys are seeking clemency, calling on the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to recommend that Texas Governor Greg Abbott commute her sentence before she is executed on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, her supporters say they're hopeful their efforts will work and that Lucio's sentence will be commuted."If I didn't believe she was innocent, I wouldn't be out here doing the work that I do," said Ayala.
