Supreme Court Reviews Death Penalty Case of Richard Glossip with State Support
The US Supreme Court is set to review the death penalty appeal of Richard Glossip, an Oklahoma inmate who has been on death row for over 20 years and has famously had three last meals. In a surprising turn of events, the Oklahoma Attorney General has allied with Glossip, seeking to set aside his conviction and calling the potential execution a 'travesty.' This rare collaboration between the inmate and the state's top prosecutor highlights the growing concerns over the fairness of Oklahoma's criminal justice system. The Supreme Court's decision will address significant issues, including the implications of a prosecutor's admission of error, as the state asks for a new trial, putting Glossip's fate in the balance once again.
