The Week’s Bonnie Kristian wrote about the expected execution of Richard Glossip, despite serious questions regarding his verdict. He received a temporary stay of execution at the last moment because new evidence was introduced. Kristian wrote,
Glossip was sentenced to death after he refused to confess to the killing he says he did not order. His case has attracted considerable attention because of the lack of physical evidence against him and contradictory statements from the confessed killer, who pointed to Glossip as the mastermind to escape being placed on death row himself.
“The Glossip case bears many of the hallmarks of the wrongful convictions that plague the death penalty system — inept defense attorneys, zero physical evidence, and the reliance on the testimony of a single person,” said Marc Hyden of Conservatives Concerned about the Death Penalty.
