OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — Lawmakers, Richard Glossip supporters, and Dr. Phil McGraw were at the State Capitol Tuesday to speak about death row inmate Richard Glossip's case.
“There are only two ways justice is going to happen here," Dr. Phil said. "That’s either a fair trial or they decide not to retry him. Either way, there is no justice until he goes home.”
On Friday, the Supreme Court blocked the execution planned for May 18. The Court said it will review the case and either take it on or give it back to Oklahoma.
A rally was held Tuesday morning outside of the Capitol. Supporters gathered and spoke about why Glossip doesn't deserve the death penalty.
"If they kill Richard Glossip, I will be the first one to stand up and run a bill abolishing this thing," says McDugle. "I am for the death penalty, but I'm telling you right now, if they kill Richard Glossip, I will be the first one to stand up and go against the death penalty because it's not true and just in the state of Oklahoma."
Dr. Phil, Rep. Kevin McDugle, Rep. Justin Humphrey, Glossip attorney Don Knight, and Sister Helen Prejean all spoke.
