Oklahoma death row inmate Richard Glossip denied clemency as he faces 9th execution date

Richard Glossip, an Oklahoma death row inmate twice convicted in a murder-for-hire plot to kill his boss in 1997, was denied clemency on Wednesday during an Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board hearing.

Glossip, 60, has had nine separate execution dates that have been delayed eight times, and he has eaten three last meals. His latest death date is scheduled for May 18.

"I’m not a murderer, and I don’t deserve to die for this," Glossip said in an emotional statement during the hearing.

Glossip has spent 25 years in prison for his conviction in the 1997 murder of motel owner Barry Van Treese and maintains his innocence. Glossip was sentenced to death for Van Treese's murder. Prosecutors allege Glossip killed Van Treese, the owner of a motel where Glossip worked as a manager, by convincing a 19-year-old maintenance worker, Justin Sneed, to execute his killing.
