Death row inmate of 25 years could dodge execution for fourth time after AG intervenes
The attorney general of Oklahoma, has filed a motion to stop the execution of death row inmate, Richard Glossip.
In an unusual move, Gentner Drummond said that while he does not believe Glossip is innocent, he said the trial he received was"unfair and unreliable". If the Supreme Court grants a stay of execution - which puts a pause on all legal proceedings - Glossip, 60, will have narrowly avoided death four times in total.
He is scheduled to be executed on 18 May for ordering the 1997 killing of Barry Van Treese, the owner of a motel in Oklahoma City where Glossip worked. The motel's handyman, Justin Sneed, admitted robbing Van Treese and beating him to death with a baseball bat, but claimed he did so only after Glossip promised to pay him $10,000 to do it.
