The U.S. Supreme Court is deliberating the case of Richard Glossip, an Oklahoma death row inmate who has maintained his innocence in the 1997 murder of motel owner Barry Van Treese. In a rare move, both Glossip's defense and the state, represented by Attorney General Gentner Drummond, are seeking to overturn his conviction, citing unfair trial procedures and suppressed evidence that could undermine the key testimony against him. The prosecution's main witness, Justin Sneed, who admitted to the murder, testified that Glossip orchestrated the crime, but new evidence suggests Sneed's psychiatric issues were not disclosed. During the nearly two-hour oral arguments, the justices exhibited differing opinions on the significance of the new evidence and whether Glossip's due process rights were violated. The court's decision will not only impact Glossip's fate but could also influence other death row cases across the country. The victim's family, however, remains steadfast in their support for Glossip's execution.
