A Bad Deal

Published: Sept. 27, 2022, 7 a.m.

In the days before April 27th, our instagram, along with others, were posting phone numbers and information about how to contact Texas\u2019 Gov. Abbot, requesting he grant clemency to Melissa Lucio- a woman who was set to be put to death. The outcry and calls worked and her life has, thus far, been spared. There\u2019s additional good news- not only will she not be murdered by the state, but her appeals are being reviewed which could lead to a new trial and possible release! So, before her next hearing, let's take a look back at her case to understand why there was such an outcry surrounding her possible death and what chance she may have of being cleared of all wrong-doing. \n\nFor images and sources for this week\u2019s episode, visit the Murder in the Rain episode blog.\n\nCome see us at PNW True Crime Fest October 8th & 9th!
