Oklahoma Pardon Board Votes Against Clemency for Death Row Prisoner Richard Glossip
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oklahoma's Pardon and Parole Board has denied clemency to death row
prisoner Richard Glossip, even though Oklahoma's own attorney general
has sought to vacate Glossip's 1998 murder conviction. On Wednesday, the
board voted 2 to 2 to deny clemency despite widespread doubt over
Glossip's guilt. An execution date has been set for May 18. We'll have
more on this story after headlines.
