Supreme Court to Hear Richard Glossip's Bid for New Trial

Oklahoma supports Glossip's appeal, citing prosecutorial misconduct in his 1998 conviction.

Richard Glossip, on death row for a 1997 murder-for-hire charge, seeks a new trial at the Supreme Court.
Oklahoma's Attorney General Gentner Drummond argues that Glossip's trial was marred by prosecutorial misconduct.
The key witness, Justin Sneed, admitted to lying about his psychiatric history, which was not disclosed to Glossip's defense.
Despite Oklahoma's support for a new trial, the state's Criminal Court of Appeals previously denied Glossip's appeal.
The Van Treese family, related to the victim, opposes the appeal, arguing that no prosecutorial errors were made.
