Rich Glossip is innocent. Oklahoma is about to execute him for a murder he did not commit. Join us in demanding a fair clemency hearing and release after 22 years of wrongful imprisonment on death row. Together, we can Save Rich Glossip.
Rich Glossip is innocent. The real killer, Justin Sneed, is behind bars for life. Sneed admitted he was the killer and only implicated Rich after detectives suggested it as a way out. Following the detectives’ lead, Sneed said he’d only committed the murder because Glossip paid him to do it, and prosecutors agreed to drop the death penalty for Sneed if he would testify against Rich.
Now, Rich Glossip has been on death row for 22 years and will soon face execution for a murder he did not commit.
Sneed’s self-serving testimony was the only evidence tying Rich to the murder of Barry Van Treese at the Best Budget Inn in Oklahoma City in 1997. There is no physical or forensic evidence that Rich had any involvement in the murder. In fact, the evidence all points to a botched robbery by Sneed.
Glossip was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and now Oklahoma wants to execute him. Now the truth is finally coming out.
It has been 22 years since Rich was wrongfully convicted and sent to death row. His case is riddled with controversy. Oklahoma has tried three times to execute Rich, and came within minutes of execution, while Rich has always maintained his innocence. During the execution moratorium which began in 2015, his defense team worked tirelessly to uncover the truth. What they found clearly shows, with evidence the jury never heard, that Rich has been right all along.
You can help make sure Rich finally gets a fair hearing and a chance to prove his innocence.
