Melissa Lucio, woman facing execution in Texas this month, meets with lawmakers as Kim Kardashian voices support

A group of bipartisan Texas lawmakers on Wednesday visited a death row inmate whose execution they are trying to stop amid doubts about whether she fatally beat her 2-year-old daughter. Kim Kardashian and at least one juror from the trial are also voicing support for Melissa Lucio, who faces execution on April 27.

State Reps. Jeff Leach, a Republican, and Joe Moody, a Democrat, led a group of lawmakers to the Mountain View Unit in Gatesville, Texas, where the state houses women on death row. 

Rep. Victoria Neave Criado, who attended the meeting, tweeted that Lucio was "glowing and filled with hope, love for her family, and a profound faith that she will walk free one day."
