Breaking: The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has halted Melissa Lucio's execution, and is sending her case back to trial court in order to weigh evidence that she is innocent of the crimes that landed her on death row. Read more about her case here:
But in 2007, the medical examiner concluded that Mariah had been severely abused and had died of a head injury that had occurred within 24 hours of her death.
This included yelling and implicit threats, such as one detective telling her, “If I beat you half to death like that little child was beat, I’d bet you’d die too!” When he resumed the recording at 3 am, Escalon had brought in a doll, ordering Lucio to show him how she had bit and spanked Mariah and continually urging her to hit the doll harder. He pointed to several sets of bruises and instructed Lucio to spank the doll in those areas to illustrate how she would have caused them.
Instead, the jury heard three witnesses for the defense — a neurosurgeon who testified that blunt trauma from falling down the stairs could have caused Mariah’s death; Lucio’s sister who testified that Lucio “never disciplined her children,” and a Child Protective Services worker whoindicated that Lucio had been physically abusive to any of her children.
