Richard Glossip

#145 - In 1997, the owner of an Oklahoma City motel was beaten to death with a baseball bat. Shortly into the investigation, the police arrested a teenager, Justin Sneed, for the murder. He quickly confessed to killing the motel owner but told the police someone else hired him to do it. Justin Sneed said that his older friend and manager of the motel, Richard Glossip, was the mastermind behind the murder. Both men were convicted of the murder, and Richard Glossip was sentenced to the death penalty.   Can a man be executed solely on the confession of a convicted killer and without any forensic evidence?   Support My Work   If you love the show, the easiest way to show your support is by leaving us a positive rating with a review.
