State Reps. Jeff Leach and Joe Moody led a group of lawmakers to visit with Melissa Lucio, who faces execution on April 27.
“Looking forward to a great and productive day with my colleagues. Doing everything we can to fight for justice for Melissa Lucio,” Leach tweeted before meeting with Lucio.A spokeswoman for Abbott’s office did not immediately return an email seeking comment.
In an op-ed published Sunday in the Houston Chronicle, juror Johnny Galvan Jr. said he believes jurors weren’t given all the information needed to make a proper decision and he now feels “deep regret” for sentencing Lucio to death. In 2019, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Lucio’s conviction, ruling she was deprived of “her constitutional right to present a meaningful defense.” However, the full court in 2021 said the conviction had to be upheld for procedural reasons.
