Richard Glossip was convicted and sentenced to death first in 1998, then a second time in 2004. He was scheduled to be executed in 2014. Now, his lawyers are preparing to present the death row inmate’s case before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Glossip case has drawn national attention because Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond—who wasn’t in office when Mr. Glossip was convicted—has publicly opposed Mr. Glossip’s execution based on his belief that Mr. Glossip didn’t get a fair trial.
