In May, Glossip was released from prison after posting a $500,000 bond set by an Oklahoma judge. He now awaits a third trial in the decades-old case.
Former death row inmate Richard Glossip had three final meals
Glossip has consistently maintained his innocence, while supporters, including high-profile advocates, argue the original trial was fundamentally flawed.
Glossip has attracted widespread support both in the United States and around the world, with high-profile figures such as Kim Kardashian and Susan Sarandon, among those calling for justice in his case.
“We cannot execute another man especially for a crime he didn’t commit!” Kim Kardashian wrote on X in 2023, saying she believed Glossip was innocent and that he “deserves a full pardon.”
“Everyone has to hear about Richard Glossip,” she added.
In a statement to USA TODAY, Glossip’s attorneys said they were grateful for Oklahoma County District Judge Natalie Mai’s ruling, which made his release possible. Meanwhile, the state says it has strong evidence against Glossip for his third trial.
Set for retrial decades after suspected murder
“While we disagree with the court’s decision, we remain focused on retrying this case and securing a third conviction,” Leslie Berger, press secretary for the Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office, told USA Today. “Ultimately, the question of the defendant’s guilt or innocence will once again be decided by a jury of Oklahoma citizens − not a judge.”
When the third trial against Richard Glossip will take place is not yet decided.
