Oklahoma AG seeks to vacate murder conviction of death row inmate Richard Glossip.

The Oklahoma Attorney General has called for the murder conviction and death sentence of Richard Glossip to be thrown out and a new trial ordered. The key witness against Glossip lied to the jury about his psychiatric treatment and reasons for taking the mood-stabilizing drug lithium. Although the state is not suggesting Glossip is innocent, the attorney general said he cannot stand behind the murder conviction and death sentence of Richard Glossip. Glossip is scheduled to be executed on May 18.
