The Supreme Court made a significant decision on Tuesday, ruling in favor of Oklahoma death row inmate Richard Glossip by ordering a new trial. Glossip's case has garnered national attention, with even the state's conservative attorney general supporting his appeal. The basis for the retrial stems from allegations that the state withheld crucial evidence related to its main witness.

Glossip was convicted in 1998 for orchestrating the murder of Barry Van Treese in 1997. However, doubts surrounding his conviction have surfaced over the years, leading to this pivotal ruling. The state attorney general, in a surprising move, acknowledged the emergence of new evidence that casts doubt on Glossip's guilt.
