The Controversial Case of Richard Glossip: Updates and Perspectives.

The US Supreme Court has granted a stay of execution for Richard Glossip, a death row inmate convicted of arranging the 1997 murder of an Oklahoma City motel owner, while it considers whether to formally review his case. Oklahoma’s attorney general urged that Glossip not be put to death, citing problems with his murder trial. Advocates for Glossip have argued that new evidence discovered in independent investigations strongly suggests that there was not enough evidence to warrant a conviction, let alone a death sentence. The case has been taken on by various supporters, including state lawmakers from both parties, Kim Kardashian, and the attorney general, who has said that carrying out a death sentence would be a “grave injustice.”
