OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma appeals court on Thursday supported the murder conviction of death row prisoner Richard Glossip, leading the way for Glossip to be carried out on May 18, regardless of the state chief law officer’s issues about some statement and proof.
Glossip can still plead his case for clemency to the five-member Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board, which might suggest that the guv extra Glossip’s life by travelling his sentence to life in jail without parole.
Glossip, now 60, has actually long kept his innocence in the 1997 murder-for-hire killing of his previous manager, Barry Van Treese, who owned the Best Budget Inn where Glossip worked as the supervisor. The motel’s handyman, Justin Sneed, confessed robbing Van Treese and beating him to death with a baseball bat, however declares he did so just after Glossip assured to pay him $10,000 to do it.
Sneed, who wound up getting life in jail, was the essential witness in 2 different murder trials for Glossip, both of which ended in a conviction and death sentence.
