Supreme Showdown: Glossip's Fight for Justice in 1997 Murder Conviction

The U.S. Supreme Court is considering Richard Glossip's appeal to overturn his 1997 murder conviction, citing withheld evidence that could prove his innocence. Glossip's fate hinges on maintenance worker Justin Sneed's testimony. Oklahoma's Attorney General joins the defense, questioning the prosecution's integrity and Sneed's credibility.

The U.S. Supreme Court deliberated on Wednesday over Richard Glossip's appeal to overturn his 1997 murder conviction. Glossip argues that prosecutors failed to disclose evidence that could exonerate him.

Central to Glossip's conviction was the testimony of Justin Sneed, who confessed to the murder. However, doubts about Sneed's credibility have cast a shadow on the trial's fairness, leading Oklahoma's Attorney General Gentner Drummond to support Glossip's bid for a retrial.

With the Supreme Court's ruling anticipated in June, the case hinges on whether newly uncovered evidence should warrant vacating Glossip's conviction.
