Glossip granted $500K bail as retrial looms after decades in prison
TL;DR
An Oklahoma judge approved a $500,000 bail for former death row inmate Richard Glossip, who has been imprisoned since his 1998 conviction in a murder-for-hire plot. Glossip’s conviction and death sentence were overturned by the Supreme Court in February 2025, and he now awaits a retrial. If released on bond, he would wear a GPS ankle monitor, observe a 10 p.m.–7 a.m. curfew, and have no contact with witnesses. He previously faced multiple execution dates and even survived three last meals, marking the potential end of nearly 30 years behind bars.
