wrongfully convicted. served 20 years. may now be deported
An emotional scene unfolded in a Travis County courtroom Monday as Carmen Mejia embraced three of her daughters for the first time in more than two decades. Moments earlier, a judge had formally dismissed all charges against the Austin woman, clearing her of a murder conviction that sent her to prison for the scalding death of an infant more than 20 years ago.
The family reunification proved brief. Despite being cleared, Mejia remained in custody after Monday's hearing because of an immigration detainer.
