"Supreme Court to Review Oklahoma Death Row Inmate's Appeal"
TL;DR
The US 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, Glossip's conviction was upheld by an Oklahoma appeals court. The case, which has attracted international attention, will be heard in the fall, and the Supreme Court will consider it with only eight justices, as Justice Neil Gorsuch is not taking part.
