Former death row inmate Richard Glossip has been granted bond by an Oklahoma judge who ruled Thursday that Glossip could be freed from jail while awaiting a new trial for a 1997 killing.

An Oklahoma man who has narrowly avoided execution three separate times could walk free from a county jail after a judge agreed to grant him bond while awaiting retrial.

Oklahoma prosecutors say they will pursue a murder charge, but not the death penalty, against longtime death row inmate Richard Glossip for his role in the 1997 killing of his former boss.

A death row inmate in Oklahoma who has been scheduled for execution nine separate times and been fed three “last meals” has won a new trial after the U.S. Supreme Court tossed his murder conviction.

The wife of an Oklahoma man whose murder conviction and death penalty were thrown out by the Supreme Court says the decision is “an answered prayer.”.
