Oklahoma denies clemency for death row inmate Richard Glossip despite AG's motion to vacate conviction.

Oklahoma's state parole board has voted not to recommend clemency for death row inmate Richard Glossip, who is scheduled to die by lethal injection on May 18. Glossip has long maintained his innocence in the 1997 killing of his former boss, motel owner Barry Van Treese. The vote came despite the state's new Republican attorney general, Gentner Drummond, taking the unusual step of arguing on behalf of granting clemency. Glossip's attorneys still have a pending petition before the U.S. Supreme Court seeking to halt his execution.
