OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin said Tuesday she has no plans to delay next month's scheduled execution of a man condemned for his role in a 1997 killing, despite concerns by death penalty opponents that he is innocent. Fallin said in a statement that she is convinced Richard Eugene Glossip is guilty in the beating death of motel owner Barry Van Treese and that the state is prepared to move forward with his Sept. 16 execution. "Richard Glossip was first convicted of murder and sentenced to death over 17 years ago," Fallin said. "He has had over 6,000 days to present new evidence. Postponing his execution an additional sixty days does nothing but delay justice for the family of Mr. Van Treese." Read More. |
