I've only recently been made aware of this story now that it's come down to the wire that Richard Glossip might be put to death today in Oklahoma. Since my sources are only from the internet, I'm sure many of the 'facts' can be taken with a grain of salt but the sources agree on one thing - Glossip was only convicted on the testimony of Justin Sneed, who actually carried out the murder of motel owner Barry Van Treese.
The main question is why should Glossip be put to death while the actual murderer lives? A very good question, since Sneed got a life sentence instead of the death penalty in exchange for his testimony against Glossip.
Unfortunately, Glossip's fate hinges on Gov. Mary Failing who has until 3pm today to stay the execution. However, she seems disinclined to do so.
