Richard Glossip, an Oklahoma man who has been on death row since 1998, will be removed from potential execution and face a new trial in his murder case, the Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday.
In a rare win for a death row inmate from the conservative court, the Supreme Court ruled 5-3 in favor of throwing Glossip’s murder conviction out, saying he was given an unfair trial after it was revealed prosecutors hid evidence that could have led to his acquittal and a star witness lied in court.
