Kim Kardashian Asks Texas Governor To Spare Melissa Lucio’s Life
Kim Kardashian had recently asked Texas Governor Greg Abbott to spare Lucio’s life after she falsely pleaded guilty to killing her two-year-old baby Mariah in 2007. She said, “It’s stories like Melissa’s that make me speak so loud about the death penalty in general and why it should be banned when innocent people are suffering.”

Speaking in a recent interview, Melissa’s son, John Lucio, said, “When I shared with my mother about Kim Kardashian supporting her and advocating for her, she was just shocked.”
He continued, “She couldn’t believe it and she was amazed by it and of course she has many hundreds of supporters also relying the message to her, she’s just in awe and she’s very, very faithful in all the support that she’s receiving in this moment, I mean Kim Kardashian being an advocate for her has really uplifted her spirits.”
“I mean my mother, she wouldn’t even have the words for… My mother would love to thank her and… she’s appreciated for her… from the bottom of our hearts we thank her so much for coming into the picture and helping out an innocent woman, a woman that was convicted of murdering her child, I mean a woman of poverty,” he added.
Meanwhile, Lucio has continued to claim that she is not guilty of the charges. Her legal representatives also claimed that Mariah only kicked the bucket after falling from the stairs near the family’s home in Texas. Nevertheless, according to her lawyers, she only admitted to the offense under mental stress.
Her legal representative said that the stress of losing a loved one and mental pain she has suffered over the last years made her yield to the crime that she did not commit.
