Richard Glossip, who has maintained his innocence for over two and half decades on death row, will get a new trial after spending the better part of his life behind bars. Glossip was initially convicted of commissioning the murder of an Oklahoma motel owner in 1997.

The Supreme Court has thrown out the murder conviction and death penalty for Richard Glossip, an Oklahoma man who has steadfastly maintained his innocence and averted multiple attempts by the state to execute him.

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Feb. 24 in the case of a man on Texas death row who has long tried to obtain postconviction DNA testing on evidence that he says would exonerate him. Rube
