Glossip is notable for his role as named plaintiff in the 2015 Supreme Court case Glossip v.
Glossip was the plaintiff in Glossip v. Gross, a U.S. Supreme Court case decided in June 2015 in which a divided Court ruled 5-4 that midazolam may be used as a sedative in combination with other lethal injection drugs. The case was originally titled Warner v.
Glossip complained that prosecutors had intimidated his defense attorney into resigning, but, in April 2007, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the death sentence, with two judges in the majority, one judge specially concurring, and two judges dissenting.
In July 1998 , an Oklahoma jury convicted Glossip of the murder and sentenced him to death. In 2001, the unanimous Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals threw out that conviction, calling the case "extremely weak" and finding Glossip had received unconstitutionally ineffective assistance of counsel.
On January 28, 2015 the U.S. Supreme Court halted executions in Oklahoma until it decided on lethal injection drugs.
Richard Eugene Glossip (born February 9, 1963) is an American prisoner currently on death row at Oklahoma State Penitentiary after being convicted of commissioning the 1997 murder of Barry Van Treese.
On January 7, 1997, Justin Sneed beat Barry Van Treese to death gruesomely with a baseball bat. The killing occurred at the Best Budget Inn in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where Van Tresse was the owner, Sneed was the maintenance man, and Richard Glossip was the manager.
They only interviewed 15 people, including just three of more than 20 registered guests. One witness heard two voices arguing that sounded like a man and a woman in Room 102 around the time of the murder – but detectives never pursued that lead. Nor did they search the motel property.
At Glossip’s second trial, Sneed again changes his story, adding an anecdote about being in the same room as Glossip and Van Treese on a previous occasion, with Glossip urging Sneed to kill the motel owner, seemingly on a whim. He suggests there was no actual plan laid out by the two men. “There actually was a plan.”.
Sneed Changed His Story Multiple Times. While Richard Glossip has consistently maintained his innocence, Sneed’s story changed at least eight times. “I don’t really know what to say about it.”. Sneed tells detectives he has no idea what happened at the motel. “I didn’t kill Barry Van Treese.”.
Sneed changes his story and tells police Glossip asked him to kill Van Treese in exchange for $7,000 so Glossip could take over the motel.
The Glossip team has 29 new witnesses and experts who have signed affidavits under oath and are ready to testify, including: Multiple independent witnesses locked up with Sneed who heard him say the murder was a robbery gone wrong carried out by Sneed and his girlfriend—and Glossip had nothing to do with it.
Sneed's made-up story. Justin Sneed was under arrest for first-degree murder. Before they asked him any questions about the crime, the detectives let him know what they wanted to hear: Detective: Well, they’ve made you the scapegoat in this.
After they prompted him repeatedly, Sneed finally said, “Okay. Rich told me that he would split what money we could get out of Barry.”. He then described his crime in detail that matched the physical evidence. At the end, he seemed to remember he was supposed to be implicating Rich:
