A Texas woman on death row for the murder of her 2-year-old child could have her conviction overturned, a judge recommended this week. Melissa Lucio, from Harlingen, may find reprieve after the 2007 conviction was called into question when previously withheld evidence came to light.

According to a report by FOX San Antonio, the recent recommendation came after it was revealed that key evidence, including a Child Protective Services report and interviews with Lucio's surviving children, were not presented during her trial. Senior State District Judge Arturo Nelson's ruling indicates that the death of her daughter may have been the result of an accidental fall, not the abuse.

Both the prosecution and defense agreed that crucial information did not see the courtroom. "She would not have been convicted in light of the suppressed evidence," a 33-page agreement filed by the office of Cameron County District Attorney Luis Saenz, reports Scripps News. This agreement, endorsed by Judge Nelson, now lies with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals which will decide the fate of Lucio's case.

There's no known schedule for the appellate court's ruling. Meanwhile, Lucio's plight garnered attention from high-profile figures such as Kim Kardashian and has ignited debates on justice and innocence.

Lucio has remained on death row, and her case continues to resonate as a symbol of controversy within the death penalty debate. As the courts weigh the next steps, her advocates and family hold onto hope that justice will be rightly served.
