Richard Glossip denied clemency and faces 9th execution date in Oklahoma.

The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board has denied clemency for Richard Glossip, a high-profile death row inmate who was convicted of orchestrating the 1997 murder of his boss. Glossip has maintained his innocence, claiming that his accomplice, Justin Sneed, actually killed the motel owner during a botched robbery for drug money. Unless the U.S. Supreme Court intervenes, Glossip is set to be put to death by lethal injection on May 18 at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. The case has gained national attention and the support of celebrities, but Glossip's court appeals have been denied.
