Oklahoma AG seeks to vacate Richard Glossip's murder conviction.
TL;DR Summary
The Oklahoma Attorney General has asked the state's highest criminal court to vacate Richard Glossip's conviction for the murder of Barry Van Treese in 1997 and send his case back to district court. Glossip, who has always maintained his innocence, has come perilously close to execution multiple times. The move by the Attorney General signals a possible end to a decadeslong saga that has seen evidence of Glossip's wrongful conviction steadily mount. The state's murder case against Glossip was not particularly strong and would have been weaker if full discovery had been provided, according to the appointed counsel.
