"Supreme Court Considers Overturning Oklahoma Death Row Inmate's Conviction"

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal from Oklahoma death row inmate Richard Glossip, who has maintained his innocence in a 1997 murder-for-hire case. Despite support from the state's Republican attorney general and doubts about the trial, an Oklahoma appeals court upheld Glossip's conviction. The case has attracted international attention and the support of some Republican state lawmakers, as well as a nearly seven-year moratorium on the death penalty in Oklahoma. The Supreme Court will hear the case with only eight justices, as Justice Neil Gorsuch is not taking part.
