Supreme Court Stays Execution of Oklahoma Inmate Richard Glossip, Reviews 'Unfair Trial'

  • Richard Glossip's execution was halted after multiple news outlets reported the state's attorney general filed to stop the execution, citing lack of evidence.
  • The Supreme Court granted a stay of execution for Glossip, who was convicted of murder in 1997, to review his case.
  • Advocates argue new evidence shows lack of sufficient evidence for Glossip's conviction and death sentence.
  • Glossip has had nine execution dates and three last meals as his case gained international attention.
  • The Supreme Court will now determine whether to consider Glossip's appeals, which argue prosecutors withheld evidence from his defense.
