This is disgraceful. Your telling me, he faces execution, on the statement of this killer. Now what is going on here. No other evidence, just the say so, of the actual killer. And this stands up in court ?????
Matt Pannell: pressure from the public and the urge to punish someone for the crime, makes some overarchieving policemen to make false statements, make assumptions and rumours into facts. Sometimes they even let evidence diappear.
Kahlia Mazur Why do some people accuse President Trump a rapist and pedophile?Some even say he’s admitted it. I’m not saying it’s not true but where did this originate? And where is the proof?
Just free the man. The absolute torture this man endured thinking he was about to die three times seems like punishment enough. Especially when he killed NO ONE, and was accused by the killer himself who then got a life sentence. How in the world does that work?!?! There are so many people in this situation who I wonder how are they able to sleep at night??
So the guy that ACTUALLY took someone’s life gets to live but the guy that did not kill someone is scheduled to die ?? That’s the bottom line , wether he planed it or not he did not take the life . So how’s that justice?? Daaa. lets keep the killer and feed him 3 times a day, house him, cloth him, give him medical treatment , tv , free workout for the rest of his life and kill the the person that did not actually kill anyone.. wow that makes since to smart people??
With this much doubt surrounding his innocence OR his involvement, the death sentence should be taken off the table and the sentence commuted to life imprisonment and the case re-investigated thoroughly.
I used to be an avid believer in the Death Penalty but now I sit on that proverbial fence. I know some people can never change and will always be raping murderers. However, the more I learn about how many innocent men have been released since the advent of DNA is one reason I am now on that fence.
I agree, this really is a very sloppy case and with out true solid evidence and botched investigative techniques. The death penalty should be taken off the table and just to allow Glossip to serve his time. The reason that I do not say "release him" is because of the window incident when he replaces the window and does not enter the room where this murder has taken place after Sneed told him that he killed Mr. Van Treese. That is where I seriously question Glossip's innocence. It is a fouled case all the way around.
Yeh In death penalty cases their should be undeniable irrefutable evidence that the person is guilty. Any doubt whatsoever then they shouldn’t carry it out
I am so sorry about your pain. It must be a horrible experience for your family. How is your uncle now? Any update? In my opinion, he shouldn't even be convicted based on no evidence than word of mouth of a prisoner who was trying to save his skin. Send my love to him and your family. He is in my prayers. Love from Africa 🤗
I al not against death penalty, I just think that the American justice system is among the worst in the world! A man can be put to death like that? What a joke!
In a different situation, it would make sense, for example, a person on trial hires a hitman to murder a witness, both of them could and should be held responsible. In this case though, with no evidence, it should never have been brought forward.
The death penalty should only be in place or even considerable only is there is absolute clear evidence without a shadow of a doubt that the convicted is the criminal
I mean... a life sentence.. 30 years... 20 years... 10... 5.... should only be considered if there is absolute clear evidence without a shadow of doubt that the person is guilty. But we no longer follow that concept. Now, the overwhelming vast majority of people in prison would be out if we held our legal system to the standard is says it holds itself to. Instead, we've seen people given the death penalty when there is zero physical evidence, questionable circumstantial evidence and one single eyewitness and yes, im talking about a different case, the fact that this is not laughed out of court is a problem, the fact that the man was sentenced to death and it was carried out, is a notably bigger problem.
Always surprising to me that allot of people involved with the death penalty in some states claim their Christian. Even a victims family.. if their truly Christian they shouldn’t wanna see anyone die in pain.
Sad really! many people claim Christianity but are full of misdirected vengeance. Which Christ do they represent? The logic is equally skewed in that; Better kill 9 innocent and get that one guilty dude rather than free 9 innocent and let one killer go free😢
The death penalty is illegal here in Australia. What is happening elsewhere is just wrong. I appreciate the drug company not selling to the jails, their staff signed up to save lives not take them.
Only one way Errrr, Charles Manson *did* get the death penalty. He just got lucky because California went through a short period in the 70's where they abolished the DP, so his sentence got commuted to life (along with all other California death row inmates during that time). That's the *only* reason Manson is still alive!
what I find astounding they are basing their evidence on the word of someone who " killed the guy" and wants to lack responsibility . and if the guy was asked to kill someone he should have gone to the cops . yes we want justice for the victim and family but is it justice if the wrong person is jailed?
To prevent innocent people from being executed the death penalty should be abolished. Life in. prison without parole serves the same purpose Innocent people have been executed there's no doubt about it
The death sentence is necessary in order to keep some of these guys from killing even more once they get to prison. As someone who works inside the prison and deals with very violent offenders, evil most certainly does exist. For those, only death will end the torment the impose on others.
This guy is innocent, the detective that interviwed mr. Glossip was horrible. The detective mentioned mr glossip to mr sneed. Mr sneed then changed his story. Sneed never mentioned glossip until detective mentioned.
EVEN IF RICHARD IS GUILTY THIS IS A TERRIBLE WAY TO TREAT A HUMAN BEING LIKE THAT & THE FACT THAT WE ALLOW IT & SOME PEOPLE CALL IT JUSTICE IS DESPICABLE......
I can't understand how a man, to which evidence prove did not commit a murder, is being sentenced to death. I dont even think the death penalty should be there. Im from the uk, we dont have the death penalty, we dont have guns, and we dont have gun violence that kills. The worst people, the worst of them, they deserve to be severely punished. In my own opinion, this man should not be killed. Because thats what they do, kill people, guilty or not.
I agree with stopping the death penalty but I'm glad I can defend myself. And I'm glad that murders in the US are often a quick gunshot wound, unlike the psychotic stories I hear about Europe (especially the UK and Germany) when they kill they SLAUGHTER slicing necks, limbs, genitals, practice cannibalism, torture, sodomy, long slow deaths... is it because they don't have access to guns, or because they're extra weird? The world may never know
And even if they don't abolish the death penalty, it makes me sick knowing they have sentenced people who are innocent beyond a reasonable doubt or who lack hard evidence... if there's even a slight doubt there should be no thought of killing a human being when it may be an innocent being
Tbh I don't see the difference between public lynchings and the DP. People love to talk about how progressive we are, how advanced and how great our judicial system is... meanwhile they acknowledge that old school lynchings, beatings, firing squad, etc were all too "cruel and unusual," but apparently telling someone they will die in X amount of years, dragging it out as long as possible, murdering them in front of loved ones and family, and sometimes even slip ups where they suffer immense pain or don't die... that doesn't seem like progress. It seems exactly the same as the barbaric practices we all criticise.
How the murder victim's widow can say that she'll find justice in the execution of a potentially innocent man is just astonishing, just as much as the fact that it appears to sway the decision of the court. Emotion should play no part in the application of the law, especially when that emotion is the desire for revenge.
I truly believe that Richard is innocent, the agony that both he and his family has to endure is Inhumane and torture, I hope 2016 brings great news for Richard and his family and an end to all this suffering.
They are going to execute a man who has not actually killed anyone. Why because the real killer said that this man asked him to do it ? That's insane 😳
It’s disgusting that this man has been going through this for over 7 years. HOW is Richard Glossip not free? How is he only just now getting a new trial??
Here I think that executing Richard Glossip is letting the murderer kill again from behind bars while he carries a life sentence. This is unjust. It's not justice.
Oh Richard Glossip is innocent. Justin sneed is a lying bag of Dung. He’s a nutcase.His own family doesn’t like him. When I was 19 years old, I was accused of a crime by this same police department. I can honestly say, that whole unpleasant experience has been been like a dark cloud looming over me for decades. LoL to this day- I am more than 💯 sure, I absolutely was not guilty of the crime they wanted me to confess to. I was told I Didn’t pass the polygraph test, which in my mind was simply more of a reason to never believe a damn thing from it. If they got it wrong with me, then sky’s the limit. I personally know of a handful wrongly convicted in Oklahoma county alone. I as though
I believe in the death penalty for the WORST OF THE WORST - but not so much when it's for an accomplice who didn't kill the person AND the actual killer got life and not the death penalty himself
What a disgrace to the country we live in. That DA should be in jail for life he preys upon community members with only one thought how will i keep and advance my career. Just a complete disgrace.
Let that man go. The actual killer, prior to changing his story, stated that it was a “robbery gone wrong.” That should’ve been enough to taint the entire case and the actual killer’s testimony with reasonable doubt.
This is very bad for Richards Glossip I believe his innocent and the fact that the killer change his story that shows that our government system allows innocent people to be executed that feels very 😢😭😭
Richard Glossip is innocent. I represented Richard Glossip as well as the real mastermind behind Barry Van Treese's death whom I simply call the "Drug Dealer". That is why I can say he is innocent.
It's horrifying to see people who are in positions of authority and power who are so clearly morally unfit to hold those positions. Many of them don't really have the brains that they were born with, or an ounce of decency about them. I reckon that Susan Sarandon was probably correct the first time when she called the Governor of Oklahoma a horrible person, but because of how petty the Govenor likely is she's been forced to retract the statement even though she knows it to be perfectly true.😖
Agree and the term "Think for yourselves" is an action not enough people are doing. It seems no matter which side a person is on, instead of using their own minds, too many default to Religion or Politics instead of questioning the topic at hand. The case, the testimony. Or the Death Penalty in the U.S. compared to other countries and how that is working for them compared to us. Anyway long way of saying I agree.
I can't believe this poor guy has been delivered this hand based off an addicts testimony. No evidence just an addicts testimony who got a deal if he testified. This world just sick I hope he gets out. Some cases are death some aren't and there are worse murders and the people live. It's a sad world.
They should set him free. What they did was unconstitutional. They have to prove beyond reasonable doubt and the person responsible for the conviction is the actual killer who escaped death penalty by accusing him. It's crazy that this can happen.
The level of incompetence by the prison execution officials is absolutely staggering. Who the hell is running these events? Yosemite Sam or Mr Magoo? It's one thing to notice that they have the wrong drugs and something else entirely to wait over 90 minutes more before informing people. Like some kind of sick joke.
This is horrible :-( Ok, we are getting used to be manipulated by the media and I really hope there´s some clear evidence that put this guy on death row, that we wasn´t shown in the video.. But even so, I wouldn´t be surprised if he´s actually 100% not guilty and the murderer is just willing to say anything to get life instead of death - Even if that means blaming the other guy.
This is so wrong and sick. I cried my eyes out when I heard Richard had been executed, it's the most unjust and fucked up thing to happen to someone in a situation like this in a very long time. My thoughts and prayers and with his family, I'm so, so sorry.
I thought they're getting ready to try and give him another date because they've got 25 more they're trying to schedule since they resumed and executed John Grant and Bigler Stopher. I came back to find these videos because I'd read they're trying to give him another date.
I think its pretty clear what is happening here, he is hear on the word of a killer. The family dont want justice, they want revenge so badly they dont care if he was involved or not. This makes them just as callous as any murderer.
