Considering she is not yet a lawyer, perhaps this alliterate reality star figures she can get away with lying about the death of this small child.

I am all for the Innocence Project, but she should actually read the autopsy.

Kim Kardashian petitions Gov. Abbott to stop execution of Texas mother

(KWTX & AP) – Kim Kardashian is raising awareness about the looming execution of Texas mother Melissa Lucio and is promoting a petition from The Innocence Project calling on Governor Greg Abbott to intervene.

Lucio’s execution is scheduled for April 27, 2022. The woman was convicted of murder for the death of her 2-year-old daughter Mariah in 2007.

Lucio, 53, would be the first Latina executed by Texas and the first woman since 2014, the Associated Press reports. Only 17 women have been executed in the U.S. since the Supreme Court lifted its ban on the death penalty in 1976, most recently in January 2021, according to the AP.

“She has been on death row for over 14 years for her daughter’s death that was a tragic accident,” Kardashian wrote in her post, “Her 2-year old daughter Mariah fell down a flight of stairs and two days later passed away while taking a nap. After she called for help, she was taken into custody by the police.”

Lucio’s lawyers told the Associated Press she was coerced by detectives into making a confession. The attorneys also contend Mariah died from injuries from a fall down the 14 steps of a steep staircase outside the family’s apartment in the South Texas city of Harlingen.

In the 2020 documentary “The State of Texas vs. Melissa,” Lucio said investigators kept pushing her to say she had hurt Mariah.

“I was not gonna admit to causing her death because I wasn’t responsible,” Lucio said. – Source
