On Wednesday, Richard Glossip will face execution by the state of
Oklahoma despite mounting evidence pointing to his innocence. Glossip
was found guilty for hiring his subordinate Justin Sneed to murder his
boss Barry Van Treese during the winter of 1997. No physical evidence
was found connecting Glossip to the murder — all hearings and charges
are based off of Sneed’s testimony. Sneed cut a deal with the state to
testify against Glossip, who had no criminal record, in exchange for a
life sentence.
A new report by The Intercept has found that another witness, by the
name of Michael Scott, who served time in a cell across from Sneed,
overheard him boasting about framing Glossip. In response, Oklahoma
County District Attorney David Prater, who has been vying for Glossip’s
execution, has gone to great lengths to track down Michael Scott and
interrogate him.
