Richard Glossip's Execution Looms Despite Legal Challenges.
TL;DR Summary
Despite overwhelming evidence of innocence, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has refused to vacate Richard Glossip's conviction and death sentence for a murder he almost certainly did not commit. The decision makes a mockery of the judiciary's supposed role as a guardian of individual liberties and favors vengeance over justice. Glossip's only remaining hope for relief is the U.S. Supreme Court, which is far more conservative than when it previously greenlit his execution in 2015.
