Supreme Court intervenes in Richard Glossip execution case.

The US Supreme Court has halted the execution of Richard Glossip, an Oklahoma death row inmate, after the state's attorney general said he didn't receive a fair trial. Glossip was convicted of the 1997 murder-for-hire plot of his boss, Barry Alan Van Treese. The execution will be put on hold while the Supreme Court reviews the case. Glossip has always maintained his innocence, and his attorneys claim that the key witness, Justin Sneed, gave false testimony to the jury.

Supreme Court halts execution of Richard Glossip, sparking debate on death penalty.

The US Supreme Court has blocked the execution of Richard Glossip, an Oklahoma death row inmate, who claims he is innocent. The state's attorney general agreed that the underlying conviction was unsound. Glossip was convicted of arranging the murder of his boss at the Oklahoma City motel where he worked. The decision means that Glossip’s execution, scheduled for May 18, will no longer go ahead while his court challenge continues.

Richard Glossip denied clemency and faces 9th execution date in Oklahoma.

The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board has denied clemency for Richard Glossip, a high-profile death row inmate who was convicted of orchestrating the 1997 murder of his boss. Glossip has maintained his innocence, claiming that his accomplice, Justin Sneed, actually killed the motel owner during a botched robbery for drug money. Unless the U.S. Supreme Court intervenes, Glossip is set to be put to death by lethal injection on May 18 at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. The case has gained national attention and the support of celebrities, but Glossip's court appeals have been denied.

Oklahoma denies clemency for death row inmate Richard Glossip despite AG's motion to vacate conviction.

Oklahoma's state parole board has voted not to recommend clemency for death row inmate Richard Glossip, who is scheduled to die by lethal injection on May 18. Glossip has long maintained his innocence in the 1997 killing of his former boss, motel owner Barry Van Treese. The vote came despite the state's new Republican attorney general, Gentner Drummond, taking the unusual step of arguing on behalf of granting clemency. Glossip's attorneys still have a pending petition before the U.S. Supreme Court seeking to halt his execution.

Richard Glossip's Execution Date Confirmed Despite Conviction Appeal

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.
