Oklahoma prosecutors say they will retry longtime death row inmate Richard Glossip a third time for his role in the 1997 killing of his former boss.
Death row inmate John Hanson's execution will proceed as scheduled on Thursday after the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals denied a petition claiming the state withheld evidence during his trial.
Richard Glossip, who has spent nearly 30 years on death row, will face a new trial for first-degree murder, but no longer under threat of execution, following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling and a decision by Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond.
Richard Glossip appeared in court Monday as prosecutors prepare for a new trial in his decades-old murder case, this time without seeking the death penalty.
