Richard Glossip's complicated death penalty case has seen a dramatic turn after the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in his favor, citing significant errors in his original prosecution. Attorney General Gentner Drummond initially supported Glossip's innocence due to perjured testimony by the key witness, Justin Sneed, but has since announced plans to retry Glossip for murder, seeking a life sentence instead of death. This case illustrates the complexities and injustices surrounding the death penalty in America, particularly the impact of flawed measures in capital trials.
"While it was clear to me and to the U.S. Supreme Court that Mr. Glossip did not receive a fair trial, I have never proclaimed his innocence."
"Glossip has been through an experience like few others in the annals of criminal justice. He has had nine different scheduled execution dates and eaten three 'last meals' as one or another of those dates approached."
