"Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed is seeking to overturn her manslaughter conviction, alleging prosecutorial misconduct and suppressed evidence similar to what led to the dismissal of Alec Baldwin's case. Her attorney argues that crucial evidence was withheld, compromising the trial's integrity, and calls for her release and the removal of special prosecutor Kari Morrissey.
A judge has recommended overturning the conviction and death sentence of Melissa Lucio, a Texas woman whose execution was delayed in 2022, after finding that evidence in her murder trial was suppressed. The suppressed evidence, including witness statements from Lucio’s children and a report by Child Protective Services, would have corroborated Lucio’s defense that her daughter died of an accidental fall. The recommendation has been sent to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, and Lucio’s case has garnered support from celebrities and lawmakers.
