Melissa Lucio will be executed in just a few days if Texas officials don't block this injustice.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has not granted a request to stay her execution. Gov. Greg Abbott has not granted clemency. So the clock keeps ticking.

Abbott. That's not in his make-up to do to that. You have to have some virtues & care about people, at least a little bit. Sorry, but I believe the State of Texas will put another notch in it's execution history.
