Oklahoma governor: No plans to delay scheduled execution

Associated Press  

OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin said Tuesday she has no plans to delay next month’s scheduled execution of a man condemned for his role in a 1997 killing, despite concerns by death penalty opponents that he is innocent. Postponing his execution an additional sixty days does nothing but delay justice for the family of Mr. Van Treese.” Fallin spokesman Alex Weintz said the governor’s office has seen an increase in the number of emails and letters in support of Glossip since actress Susan Sarandon, who played a death penalty opponent in the movie “Dead Man Walking,” claimed last week that Glossip was innocent. Knight said Glossip’s defense team is seeking information from anyone who may have stayed at the Best Budget Motel in January 1997 or who has spoken to Sneed about his role in the killing. Glossip’s conviction and death sentence have been upheld by four courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, and Oklahoma’s five-member Pardon and Parole Board last year unanimously denied Glossip’s request for clemency.
