The U.S. Supreme Court threw out the murder conviction of an Oklahoma death row inmate and ordered a new trial, despite desperate pleas from the victim's family to carry out his execution.
Richard Glossip, 62, was convicted of arranging the 1997 murder of motel owner Barry Van Treese. The court ruled that a key witness against Glossip had lied in his testimony and that prosecutors at the time withheld that information.
