[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2796191, member: 7629"] Oklahoma Appeals Court Says Glossip's Execution Can Proceed OKLAHOMA CITY Sep 28, 2015, Oklahoma's highest criminal court on Monday narrowly denied a death row inmate's last-minute request for a new hearing and ordered that his execution can proceed, despite his claims that he is innocent. In a 3-2 decision, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals denied Richard Glossip's request for an evidentiary hearing and an emergency stay of execution. The court ruled the state can move forward with giving Glossip a lethal injection Wednesday at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. ~ In a dissenting opinion, Presiding Judge Clancy Smith wrote that the court should grant a 60-day stay of execution and hold an evidentiary hearing. "While finality of judgment is important, the state has no interest in executing an actually innocent man," Smith wrote. "An evidentiary hearing will give Glossip the chance to prove his allegations that Sneed has recanted, or demonstrate to the court that he cannot provide evidence that would exonerate him." Judge Arlene Johnson also dissented separately, writing that she thought Glossip's original trial was "deeply flawed" and that an evidentiary hearing should be ordered.
