Death row mum-of-14 hopes new videos could clear her of toddler's fatal fall

A mum-of-14 on death row is clinging to two pieces of video footage she hopes could clear her of murdering her two-year-old daughter who died after falling down a flight of stairs.

Melissa Lucio, from Texas, is facing death by lethal injection unless she can use new evidence from the videos to cast doubt over her conviction.

The 50-year-old was found guilty of the death of her daughter Mariah Alvarez, who died after falling down a rickety old staircase outside their apartment in 2007, reported the Daily Star.
