by JUAN A. LOZANO Associated PressFILE - This undated booking photo provided by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice shows Melissa Lucio . A judge has recommended that the conviction and death sentence of Lucio, a Texas woman whose execution was delayed in 2022 amid growing doubts she fatally beat her 2-year-old daughter, should be overturned amid findings that evidence in her murder trial was suppressed.
Nelson's recommendation has been sent to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, which will make the final decision on whether Lucio's conviction and death sentence are overturned. There was no timetable for a ruling by the appeals court. Lucio's case has become a cause célèbre among people, including Kim Kardashian.
On April 10, Missy Medary, the presiding judge for the Fifth Administrative Judicial Region in South Texas, assigned Nelson to address the pending findings in the case. Nelson, who is a retired judge and had presided over Lucio's 2008 trial, approved the findings two days later.
