Overview

• The U.S. Supreme Court vacated Glossip’s capital conviction in February after finding that prosecutors knowingly allowed false testimony, violating his right to a fair trial.
• On June 9, Attorney General Gentner Drummond announced the state will retry Glossip on a first-degree murder charge and forgo seeking the death penalty.
• Drummond’s office conducted a thorough post-remand review and concluded there is sufficient evidence to secure a murder conviction.
• Glossip was twice convicted and spent nearly three decades on death row with nine scheduled execution dates largely based on key witness Justin Sneed’s testimony.
• Glossip, who has consistently maintained his innocence, remains held without bail and is scheduled for a pretrial hearing on June 17.
