State Will Not Seek Death Penalty for Richard Glossip
Nathan Thompson
Richard Glossip, the Oklahoma death row inmate who was granted a new trial by the U.S. Supreme Court, was back in court Monday as the case against him officially restarted.
Our partners at News On 6 report state prosecutors have announced they plan to move forward with a new trial but will no longer seek the death penalty.
Glossip, who has maintained his innocence for nearly three decades in the 1997 murder-for-hire case of Barry Van Treese, was at the center of years of legal battles, public campaigns, and bipartisan support calling for a fresh look at his conviction.
A bond hearing has been scheduled for next Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. to determine whether Glossip will remain in custody as he awaits trial.
