Supreme Court Takes Up Death Row Case With Rare Alliance. Oklahoma Inmate Has State's Support
Briefly

In a rare alliance, lawyers for Richard Glossip and the state will argue that the Supreme Court should overturn his conviction and death sentence due to an unfair trial.
Evidence emerged that suggests the prosecution suppressed key information regarding the main witness's psychiatric condition, which might have undermined his testimony against Glossip.
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond stated that the destruction of a box of evidence could have aided Glossip's defense, prompting the reevaluation of the trial's fairness.
The Supreme Court will consider whether Glossip's rights were violated by the failure to turn over evidence and if the state court's decision to uphold his conviction should stand.
