Texas Court Reverses Innocence Ruling; Lucio Remains on Death Row 18 Years

A Texas court overturned a prior ruling that declared Melissa Lucio factually innocent in the 2007 death of her daughter, reinstating her death sentence after 18 years on death row. The defense maintains the child's fatal head injury resulted from an accidental fall, while the prosecution's case relied on a disputed confession. This reversal prolongs a high-profile capital case with ongoing questions about the reliability of the evidence.
