  3. Richard Glossip case: latest

    US Supreme Court rules that prosecutors violated ethical responsibilities

    February 2025

    The case of Richard Glossip in Oklahoma raises a number of interesting issues concerning the death penalty in the USA and in this case, the state of Oklahoma. In a 5-3 decision in Glossip v. Oklahoma issued on 25 February, the Supreme Court judges ruled that the prosecutors had ‘violated their duty to correct false testimony’. The prosecutors had also ‘suppressed material evidence concerning their star witness, Justin Sneed’ who actually committed the murder.

    The case involved the murder in 1997 of Barry van Treese the owner of a motel. Sneed confessed to the killing and agreed a plea bargain claiming that Glossip had instructed him to carry out the murder. This saved him from execution. There are a number of factors which has made this a case attracting international attention.

    There was very little corroboration evidence apart from the testimony of Sneed. Sneed’s mental state was not revealed to the defence (defense) team, nor was his untrustworthiness or that he had lied to the police. Glossip’s legal team has discovered that Sneed had discussed recanting his testimony before the original trial and since. This had not been revealed to them. Another not unusual factor is the doubtful quality of his defence counsel.

    There is not doubt that Glossip has suffered much in the 27 years. He has had no less than nine execution dates and has eaten three ‘last meals’.

    It is being said that this case will not have wider effects because so many elements are unusual. But it does highlight the problem of the death penalty. Had any one of the nine actually taken place, there would have been no chance of an appeal. If the criminal system has people willing to withhold evidence, then any chance of a fair trial is unlikely. It is also unwise to convict someone of the ultimate legal penalty without certainty which must mean at the very least, corroborative and trustworthy evidence. A defendant must also have first class attorneys to defend him. The testimony of an unreliable witness should be treated with great caution.

    A new trial has been ordered.

  4. “Innocent until proven guilty” is the ideal. The reality— for far too many judges, prosecutors, and jurors— is the opposite: an indictment or arrest makes a person guilty and places the burden on them to prove their innocence. When the system gets rigged through police or prosecutorial misconduct, it’s almost impossible to overturn this presumption of guilt [like in] the case of Richard Glossip"

  7. RT @EUAmbUS: Together with my @SWEambUSA colleague, just sent a letter to OK @GovStitt on the scheduled execution of #RichardGlossip. We strongly urge granting Mr. Glossip a reprieve and preventing the killing of a potentially innocent man. Read the full letter here: eeas.europa.eu/sites/default/f t.co/rwH3eUXJkh

    Secondo un dossier di un membro della commissione per la libertà condizionale #Oklahoma "il sistema giudiziario aveva condannato #RichardGlossip in parte perché era un uomo povero, e che gli era stato negato un avvocato competente."

    And now we have the #RichardGlossip case - where Glossip files "UNOPPOSED application for stay of execution" to the US #SupremeCourt. Of course, it cites the Escobar case.

  11. It boggles my mind that the US justice system will execute, yes EXECUTE, someone when there is only hearsay evidence from another death row inmate who parlayed that evidence into avoid their death penalty.

    Given Richard Glossip was sentenced to death by deep red pro-death Oklahoma I don't hold out much hope he'll live to tell the tale.

    Meanwhile conspirators in the coup to overthrow the United States walk free despite mountains of evidence.
