By now, I'm sure you've read or heard about Richard Glossip, the man who is scheduled to be put to death on September 16. If by some weird chance you haven't heard about him, here's the CliffNotes version:
Glossip has been on death row since 1998. Two separate juries have found him guilty of hiring Justin Sneed, a man currently serving a life sentence, of murdering their then-boss, Barry Van Treese. Sneed is the one who beat Van Treese to death, and in exchange for a life without parole sentence, he was given his life sentence in exchange for testimony against Glossip. Since the murder of Barry Van Treese, Glossip has maintained his innocence.
