An independent counsel has been appointed to review the murder conviction and death sentence of Richard Glossip, a death row inmate who has maintained his innocence in a 1997 murder-for-hire, after a growing body of evidence sparked calls for reassessment.
Oklahoma attorney general Gentner Drummond on Thursday stated that a comprehensive review of Glossip’s conviction will be carried out by district attorney Rex Duncan, including the initial investigation by Oklahoma City police, two separate trials, sentencing, and appeals.
