The Killing of Richard Glossip

No topic, save maybe abortion, engenders more debate than that of Execution in our penal system. The arguments on both sides are intense, but I think it’s safe to say that both sides do not want an innocent man or woman to fall victim to the “Final Judgement.”

As they say on LAW AND ORDER, “the case at bar” is that of Richard Eugene Glossip of Oklahoma. Mr. Glossip has been on death row for over 26 years for a murder he did not commit. In that time, he has had his execution date stayed 3 times, once when he was actually strapped to the gurney.

Here's the twist. He’s innocent! Now you don’t have to take my word for it. The various prosecuting authorities that have had a hand in this case say he is innocent to the degree that some were behind the latest stay, that was just granted by the Supreme Court as they head out of town at the end of the session.

Is this a miscarriage of justice or just how the “system” works?

My guest today is Republican Oklahoma State Representative, and death penalty proponent, Kevin McDugle. For the last 4 years, he has been an ardent advocate for Mr. Glossip in his fight for his life.
