Melissa Lucio's execution halted by Texas appeals court

DALLAS - A Texas appeals court on Monday delayed the execution of Melissa Lucio amid growing doubts about whether she fatally beat her 2-year-old daughter in a case that has garnered the support of lawmakers, celebrities and even some jurors who sentenced her to death.The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals granted a request by Lucio's lawyers for a stay of execution so a lower court can review her claims that new evidence would exonerate her. It was not immediately known when the lower court would begin reviewing her case. Lucio had been set for lethal injection Wednesday for the 2007 death of her daughter Mariah in Harlingen, Texas.The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals stepped in just two days before Lucio was scheduled to die by lethal injection. In its decision, the state court ordered the Cameron County trial court to consider new evidence presented by Lucio’s legal team.

More Canadian families expected to begin travelling amid eased restrictions: Expert

Canada changes COVID-19 border rules for unvaccinated, partially vaccinated kids “Every easing of restrictions makes it easier for people to travel, especially for families,” Travel Best Bets President Claire Newell told Global News.“With this round of restrictions…that’s where I really noticed a lot more families excited to start travelling.”Newell says the testing requirements were a hindrance for many families with younger children.“That pre-flight test has been expensive and it’s also been a hassle,” she said. “It (was) an added step and an added cost.”However, pre-entry tests will still be required for partially vaccinated or unvaccinated travellers ages 12 and older who are currently eligible to travel to Canada.That’s something Winnipeg parent Erica Suderman is familiar with.
