The State of Texas vs. Melissa

Movie trying to right this injustice.

Free Melissa!

End the death penalty!

This is a disgrace that for no crime , a mother will be killed by the state. Who are the haters who find this ok??

Regardless of your impression of the cinematic qualities of this documentary, it is worth your time. It was made out of a sense of urgency as the subject was facing a death penalty for a crime that her state couldn't prove she committed.

Get uncomfortable and watch this. You may feel compelled to do something about injustice.

This Documentary shows how the justice system has and is failing so many people. From the very beginning I could tell Melissa did not do what she was being accused of, it's so unfair that the justice system would rather just charge someone and close the case instead of finding out the whole truth. How can a justice system be ok with sending the wrong person to jail for life so many different times. Melissa I pray for you and your family to be together soon and for the justice system to go into these cases with both eyes open innocent until proven guilty is what it is supposed to be not guilty no matter what. And that lawyer who held all that information should have been disbarred not given a damn promotion that right there shows what side he was on from the get go. Very good documentary shows the truth and that is what should always matter the truth.

Praying for you and your family everyday Melissa you are a strong woman.

The State of Texas vs. Melissa Lucio is by far one of the best and most educational documentaries out there. Our corrupt "justice" system is quick to abuse the poor and the powerless. This documentary can really make a difference. It's a must watch!

While everyone in the documentary and the review section are boohooing because Melissa is a brown Hispanic woman, the real question should be who killed Mariah? Which no one is seemly unable to answer. All I see is a lot of deflection, deflection, deflection and the typical "She wouldn't do this. She doesn't fit the criteria blah, blah, blah..." First of all, she did fit the criteria. The problem with this documentary that it skips purposely on the evidences because the producer is trying to whitewash Melissa wrong doings as much as possible but the problem is a lot of things are disconnected or make no sense.

Just because she's Hispanic, brown skin, and a woman doesn't mean the justice system is broke. Melissa was a crackhead and homeless with 14 kids. The medical examiner said the poor baby was beaten and had bite marks, I didn't know the stair had teeth nor could it move on its own to beat the child.
