Oklahoma has officially dismissed the murder charge against 63-year-old Richard Glossip, who spent nearly 30 years on death row after being convicted of ordering the 1997 killing of his boss. Glossip’s conviction was overturned in 2025 for prosecutorial misconduct after he had already faced 9 separate execution dates and had three last meals.  Glossip agreed to plead guilty to the lesser charge of being an accessory to murder after the fact, for the state to drop the murder charge. However, prosecutors are maintaining that because the maximum sentence for accessory is 45 years, Glossip should be sentenced to more time behind bars to pay the full debt for his role in the crime.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
