Months after her stay, Cameron County DA Luis Saenz finally admitted the deep failures in her case and agreed with Melissa’s legal team to recommend that her conviction be overturned. That was in December 2022.

Melissa came within two days of execution in April 2022. A massive grassroots campaign — that took us all over the State of Texas — forced the public and elected officials to confront the truth: Melissa Lucio is an INNOCENT woman.

On #WrongfulConvictionDay, we remember that innocence is not enough to stop an ex*cution in America.💔 This month, 3 innocent men — Lance Shockley(MO), Robert Roberson(TX), and Anthony Boyd(AL) — face the ☠️ chamber. ✊Join the fight: https://t.co/E0DepvBOm9

Last April, Cameron County DA, Luis Saenz, collaborated with Melissa's legal team to draft an order that would vacate Melissa's conviction and death sentence. The TCCA must uphold that order and set Melissa free once and for all. #FreeMelissLucio NOW!!
