The United States Supreme Court ordered a new trial for Richard Glassb, a man of Oklahoma at the time of death.
The court ruled 5-2 in favor of Glossip, reflecting the Oclahoma court ruling of the criminal appeal.
The move comes after the state prosecutor joined Glossip in calling for a new trial.
Glossip was convicted of the killing of the owner of the Oaklahoma City Motion in 1997 where he was working. Nine death dates have been postponed, and “last meal” was eaten three times.
Judge Sonia Sotomoor wrote on Tuesday to the court and joined his fellow liberal judges, Elena Kagan and Kitanji Brown Jackson. Brett Cavano and Judge John Roberts, both of them conservatives, joined the opinion.
Judge Neil Jorman did not join the case.
“We conclude that the prosecution violated its constitutional commitment to correcting the wrong certificate,” Sotomior said.
Glossip has always kept his innocence.
His boss, Barry Van Trez, the owner of the Oklahoma City Mottoma, was beaten to death in 1997.
Glossip’s colleague, Gustin Sinide, was killed, but he said Glossip told him that he would be killed.
It has since appeared that the prosecutors had not revealed that Sanad had been treated for a serious psychological state.
Glossip was first condemned in 1998, but this was canceled in 2001. He was condemned again after three years.
In 2015, a few steps away from the death room, his execution was stopped to review deadly injection drugs.
In 2023, the Supreme Court intervened after the Prosecutor of Aklaoma requested a new trial.
