Opinion - The Supreme Court seems inclined to let Richard Glossip be executed
A jury convicted Glossip in 1998 of a murder for hire of his employer. Jurors sentenced him to death. The confessed murderer, Justin Sneed, who allegedly received $10,000 for the job, was the principal witness against him. Sneed was sentenced to life imprisonment. Glossip denied involvement in the murder and steadfastly maintained his innocence.
