Kim Kardashian ‘posts $500k bail’ for accused murderer who spent three decades in prison

  • Richard Glossip, 63, has been released on $500,000 bail after spending nearly three decades in prison for a 1997 murder conviction that was later overturned.
  • Kim Kardashian reportedly posted the bail, securing Glossip's release from the Oklahoma County Detention Center on Thursday.
  • His conviction was vacated by the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled that prosecutors had allowed false testimony during his original trial, in 2025.
  • Glossip is now awaiting a new trial for the killing of motel owner Barry Van Treese, though Oklahoma's Attorney General will not seek the death penalty this time.
  • Judge Natalie Mai granted the bond, imposing conditions such as electronic monitoring and restrictions on travel and contact with witnesses.
