Oklahoma AG files motion seeking to stop Glossip execution

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:13:32 GMT

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma’s attorney general asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to grant death row inmate Richard Glossip a stay of execution, saying there were enough problems with Glossip’s conviction that he deserves a new trial.In an unusual move for a prosecutor, Republican Attorney General Gentner Drummond filed his motion agreeing with defense attorneys that Glossip deserves a stay.Drummond said that while he doesn’t believe Glossip is innocent, he didn’t receive a fair trial. Specifically, Drummond said the key witness against Glossip lied on the stand about his psychiatric condition and his reason for taking the mood-stabilizing drug lithium.When combined with other problems with the state’s prosecution, including the destruction of evidence, the state believes “Glossip’s trial was unfair and unreliable,” Drummond wrote.Glossip is scheduled to be executed May 18 for the 1997 murder-for-hire killing of Glossip’s former boss, Barry Van Treese.

DC mayor calls plan to nix K Street project a ‘downtown killer’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:13:32 GMT

A battle is brewing in D.C. over how to pay for free Metrobus service in the nation’s capital. This comes after a proposal last week by Ward 6 Council member Charles Allen, which calls for “pausing” the K Street Transitway project in downtown D.C. and using that money to cover bus fares.“Let me be clear, this will kill the project,” said D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser at a news conference Monday, during which she took issue with Allen’s proposal.The K Street Transitway, which has been in the works since before the pandemic, includes adding dedicated bus lanes and bus platforms that are separated from traffic. Bowser said having the dedicated bus lanes will improve Metrobus service not only downtown, but citywide.“Even people who love buses don’t love buses when they are stuck in traffic and are not reliable,” Bowser said. “Even if they’re free.”The mayor said not moving forward with project would be a “downtown killer.”In attendance at the news conference was Ward 2 Council me...
