Richard Glossip Faces Execution in One Month After Oklahoma Court Denies Bid for New Trial
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oklahoma's Court of Criminal Appeals has denied the latest request by
death row prisoner Richard Glossip for a new trial, paving the way for
his execution on May 18. Thursday's ruling came after Oklahoma's
attorney general asked for Glossip's 1998 murder conviction to be
vacated, in a decades-long case in which Glossip narrowly escaped
execution three times. Glossip has always maintained his innocence.
