In 2008, Melissa Lucio was sentenced to death in Texas for the murder of her 2-year-old daughter, Mariah — a crime that never happened.

Mariah tragically died two days after accidentally falling down a flight of stairs. In shock and grieving the loss of her baby, Melissa was immediately taken into police custody and aggressively interrogated for five hours. She eventually told the police what she thought they wanted to hear so the questioning would stop, saying, “I guess I did it.”

Last month, the State of Texas scheduled Ms. Lucio’s execution for April 27, but we’re trying to stop this irreversible mistake.

We put together a list of nine facts everyone should know about Melissa Lucio’s case. Will you take a moment to read through them and then share the article with your friends and family on social media?
