Speaker 3: Onlines John Limley, We begin in Texas, where efforts to

34
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: overturn the conviction of Melissa Lucio, a death row inmate,

35
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: gained momentum after a judge declared her quote actually innocent

36
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: of capital murder. Fifty six year old Lucio was sentenced

37
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 3: to die for the two thousand and seven death of

38
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: her two year old daughter, Mariah, who Lucio insists died

39
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: from a fall down his staircase. Senior State District Judge

40
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: Arturo Nelson found that prosecutors used false testimony, suppressed evidence,

41
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: and relied on outdated science during Lucio's two thousand eight trial.

42
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: He concluded that this undermined the case against her. Nelson's findings,

43
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 3: including a recommendation to overturn Lucio's conviction and death sentence,

44
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: now go to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals for

45
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: a final decision. Lucio's execution was delayed in twenty twenty

46
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: two as new evidence raised doubts about her guilt. The

47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: case has drawn widespread attention, with support from high profile

48
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: advocates and lawmakers. Lucio's legal team argues that she was

49
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: wrongly convicted for a crime that didn't occur. The Cameron

Speaker 3: Sydney Sumner tells US officials have now identified twelve remains

55
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 3: found at the facility. But many questions remain unanswered.

56
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: The Georgia Bureau of Investigation continues to unravel a troubling

57
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: case in Douglas, Georgia, where authorities found eighteen bodies in

58
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: various stages of decomposition at Johnson Funeral and Cremation Services.

59
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: Officials have now confirmed that twelve of the remains have

60
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: been identified. Meanwhile, efforts to identify the other six bodies

61
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: and determine whether families received the correct cremated remains or

62
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 2: if those ashes are even human, are ongoing. The investigation

63
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: began last month when deputies arrived to serve an eviction

66
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: to the arrest of thirty nine year old Chris Lee Johnson,

67
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: the funeral home's owner. Johnson now faces seventeen counts of

68
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: abuse of a dead body, with investigators saying improper storage

69
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: caused severe disfigurement of the remains. A judge has denied

70
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: Johnson bond, citing the severity of the charges and the

71
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: possibility of additional charges being filed. The case has raised

72
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: broader concerns, According to local reports Johnson operated the funeral

73
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: home without valid licenses for embalming, directing, or even running

74
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: the establishment. Despite this, state inspections cleared the facility, and

75
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: earlier complaints about Johnson's services were reportedly not investigated. Some

76
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: families told reporters they suspect the ashes they received might

77
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: not belong to their loved ones. Others are grappling with

78
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: uncertainty about the fate of their relatives' remains. Investigators described

79
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: the case as complex, requiring collaboration among agents, scientists, and

80
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,479
