This is an Extended Version of Episode 205 where we discuss the Melissa Lucio case in detail with three members of Melissa's Family and Director Sabrina Van Tassel. It includes 30 minutes of unreleased documentary footage from The State of Texas vs. Melissa courtesy of Sabrina. Also includes the FULL interview with the Lucio Family.

We’ve had journalist and investigative reporter Sabrina Van Tassel twice on the show to talk about her film and Melissa Lucio’s case. In February, she toured with the members of Melissa’s family in order to raise awareness about the inconsistencies of this case, and the reasons why Melissa should be taken off death row and freed.

Melissa’s sister Sonya, Melissa’s son John and her niece Vanessa share some exclusive information about the case and the death of Melissa’s two-year-old daughter Mariah that have never been revealed before.

WARNING: this episode is not recommended for everyone to watch, sensitive subject matter is discussed.

"My mother was not an abusive person. She wasn’t a perfect person either, but she wasn’t abusive.” - John Lucio
