Richard Glossip's Execution Halted by Supreme Court Amid Growing Opposition to Death Penalty
TL;DR Summary
The US Supreme Court has halted the execution of Richard Glossip, a death row inmate in Oklahoma, just hours before he was due to be put to death. Glossip was convicted of murder in 1997, but has always maintained his innocence. The decision to halt the execution was made after a last-minute appeal by Glossip's lawyers, who argued that the use of a controversial sedative in Oklahoma's lethal injection protocol could cause severe pain and suffering.
