Richard Glossip's Execution Date Confirmed Despite Conviction Appeal
TL;DR Summary
The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has rejected the request to vacate Richard Glossip's conviction, clearing the way for his execution on May 18. The court's move is a rebuke not only to the attorney general but also to dozens of conservative Oklahoma legislators who have been fighting to stop Glossip's execution over fears the state would kill an innocent man. Glossip has always insisted on his innocence, and evidence that he was wrongly convicted has steadily mounted.
