Bulletin: Richard Glossip; Oklahoma; Commentator Shaun King gives three compelling reasons why the idea that a possibly innocent person could be executed tomorrow is "deeply disturbing' - as he indicts, "The extremely shady push behind Oklahoma's imminent execution of Richard Glossip." The Daily Kos. (Must, Must Read. HL);

"I can't tell you for sure if Richard Glossip paid for his boss to be killed in 1997. What we do know is that he didn't physically kill his boss, several witnesses have said for years that the man who did it concocted Glossip's role in planning the murder, and prosecutors have now been caught doing some pretty damn shady shit surrounding the case. As of this writing, Richard Glossip is now just about a day away from his scheduled execution at 3 PM on Wednesday, Sept. 30. I am fundamentally against the death penalty, but three other factors surrounding this scheduled execution are deeply concerning. 1. Two men who don't know Richard Glossip but were in prison with the man prosecutors claim he hired to kill his boss have signed repeated affidavits stating they heard the killer, Justin Sneed, state that he set Glossip up so that he could avoid the death penalty in the case. 2. The Oklahoma County District Attorney's office has been caught clearly intimidating these two witnesses over the past week. ... 3. The prosecutor claims that the eyewitnesses who are stating that they heard Justin Sneed say he framed Richard Glossip are unreliable because they've committed crimes, taken drugs, and lied before. What's preposterous about this is that the primary witness against Richard Glossip, Justin Sneed himself, had also committed many crimes, taken drugs, and lied before. The idea that a potentially innocent man could be executed tomorrow is deeply disturbing and is the primary reason why we should abolish the death penalty altogether. It leaves no room for error and cannot be corrected."

About Me

My photo
Harold Levy
Two Blogs Now: The Charles Smith Blog; The Selfless Warriors Blog: I created the Charles Smith Blog in 2007 after I retired from The Toronto Star to permit me to keep digging into the story of the flawed pathologist and the harm he had done to so many innocent parents and caregivers, and to Ontario’s criminal justice system. Since then it has taken new directions, including examinations of other flawed pathologists, flawed pathology, and flawed science and technology which has marred the quality of justice in courtrooms around the world. On International Wrongful Conviction Day in 2024, I was thrilled to have the Blog recognized by Innocence Canada, when I was presented with the, "Rubin Hurricane Carter Champion of Justice Award." The heart of the Blog is my approach to following cases which raise issues in all of these areas - especially those involving the death penalty. I have dedicated 'The Selfless Warrior Blog’ (soon to appear) to those exceptional individuals who have been ripped out of their ordinary lives by their inability to stand by in the face of a glaring miscarriage of justice. They are my ’Selfless Warriors.’ Enjoy!
