BREAKING: The Supreme Court blocked the execution of Oklahoma inmate Richard Glossip, who was nearly executed 3 times.
The Supreme Court on Friday blocked Oklahoma from executing death row inmate Richard Glossip after the state's attorney general agreed Glossip's life should be spared.
Glossip had been scheduled to be put to death on May 18 despite statements by new Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond that Glossip did not receive a fair trial. In an April 24 letter to the Pardon and Parole Board obtained by CBS News, Drummond wrote that new evidence released by his office indicated that the main witness against Glossip was not entirely truthful in his testimony, resulting in the creation"of reasonable doubt as to Mr. Glossip's guilt for first-degree murder." of his boss, motel owner Barry Van Treese, at two separate trials based largely on the testimony of his co-defendant, Justin Sneed.
