Attorney General Recommends Clemency for Oklahoma Death Row Inmate
- Oklahoma's Attorney General plans to ask the state's Pardon and Parole Board to recommend sparing the life of death row inmate Richard Glossip.
- Glossip was convicted of a 1997 murder based largely on the testimony of his co-defendant and has been scheduled for execution three times.
- The Attorney General cited concerns about the fairness of Glossip's trial and new evidence that was not disclosed to the jury.
- Asking for clemency in a death penalty case is highly unusual for Oklahoma's top prosecutor.
- The Pardon and Parole Board will consider the clemency recommendation for Glossip on Wednesday.
