An emotional audio clip has captured the moment Melissa Lucio learned that her life had been saved, after the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals granted her a stay of execution with just two days to spare.
The Hispanic mother-of-14, who has spent the last 14 years on death row for a crime she says she didn’t commit, was issued a last-minute stay by the appeals court on Monday, halting her execution which was scheduled for 6pm CT on Wednesday.
