Oklahoma death-row inmate Richard Glossip freed on bond ahead of retrial

An Oklahoma judge granted Richard Glossip a $500,000 bond with electronic monitoring as he awaits retrial for the 1997 murder of Barry Van Treese, a case that kept him on death row and on the brink of execution on multiple occasions. The conviction was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court last year amid claims of prosecutorial misconduct due to a false witness, and prosecutors plan to retry him without seeking the death penalty. Glossip must post 10% cash ($50,000), remain in Oklahoma, avoid drugs and alcohol, and not contact witnesses; a release date was not immediately set.
