Richard Glossip has been on death row for 25 years for a crime he insists he did not commit. Glossip, now 60, notes that he had several family members die and watched other death row inmates go to their executions during his time in prison, saying: “I missed my kids growing up. I missed walking my daughters down the aisle. I never saw my grandchildren.” Glossip claims he was falsely accused and wrongly convicted of urging his colleague, Justin Sneed, to kill their boss, Oklahoma City motel owner Barry Van Treese, in 1997. Glossip’s lawyers claim he was set up by Sneed, who admitted Van Treese and then testified that Glossip hired him to carry out the murder. On May 1, 2023, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond asked the U.S. Supreme Court to grant Glossip a stay of execution, stating that there were enough problems with his conviction to warrant a new trial. On Friday, May 5, SCOTUS blocked the execution, which was scheduled for May 18, until two appeals from his lawyers can be heard. Glossip has had three previous stays of execution over concerns about the state’s lethal injection protocol.
