A Texas appeals court has rejected a ruling that declared a woman innocent after she spent 18 years on death row. The decision keeps her conviction and death sentence in place despite earlier findings questioning her guilt, and the case is expected to continue through further appeals. The ruling has drawn attention to longstanding concerns about the reliability of evidence and the treatment of capital defendants in Texas courts.
