INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.
Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed J.L. Carpenter.
“Lucio’s conviction was overturned in July 2019 by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, but the State of Texas immediately appealed that ruling. And in February, a court of appeals reversed the 2019 grant of relief by a vote of 10 to 7 and her hopes for exoneration now lie in the U.S. Supreme Court, which only takes 1% of all cases.”
Although Lucio received a stay of execution recently, when her death sentence seemed imminent, her future is by no means certain.
In this interesting interview they look at the possible outcomes, the alleged judicial malpractice by her attorney, any lessons to be learned, and more.
