TL;DR Summary

Richard Glossip, a death row prisoner in Oklahoma, has been denied clemency despite the state's Republican attorney general making an unprecedented appeal to spare his life. The pardon and parole board voted by 2-2 to deny Glossip clemency, with lethal injection set for 18 May. Glossip has insisted he is innocent since he was convicted of murder 25 years ago.
