The family of murdered Oklahoma City motel owner Barry Van Treese expressed confidence that Richard Glossip will be found guilty again after the Supreme Court overturned his conviction and ordered a new trial. Justice Sonia Sotomayor stated that the prosecution failed to correct false testimony during Glossip's original trial in 1997, where he was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder-for-hire scheme.

Derek Van Treese, Barry's son, emphasized that the issue revolves around process and procedure. Despite the need for a new trial, he believes Glossip's guilt of first-degree murder is evident, as indicated by two previous jury verdicts.
