Richard Glossip's Execution Blocked by Supreme Court, Advocates Call for Clemency and Justice

The US Supreme Court has blocked the execution of death row inmate Richard Glossip in Oklahoma after the state's attorney general agreed that Glossip's life should be spared. Glossip had been scheduled to be put to death on May 18 despite statements by new Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond that Glossip did not receive a fair trial. While it's rare for the conservative-dominated court to put executions on hold, it's even more unusual for a prosecutor to side with the inmate.
