前俄克拉荷马州死囚理查德·格洛西普的新谋杀审判将于9月开庭。格洛西普曾在该州死囚区关押数十年，去年最高法院推翻其定罪前，他曾三次险些被执行死刑。
现年63岁的格洛西普于5月获得保释，这是他1997年因谋杀罪被捕后首次获释。根据法庭文件，格洛西普因杀害前老板巴里·范·特里斯被判死刑。范·特里斯是俄克拉荷马城一家汽车旅馆的老板，格洛西普曾在该旅馆工作，范·特里斯遭棒球棒击打致死。
格洛西普的律师曾要求下令保释他的州法官考虑是否有足够证据对其重新审判。但在周二的听证会结束后，法官裁定新的审判将于9月28日启动。
俄克拉荷马州总检察长根特纳·德拉蒙德曾承诺将以一级谋杀罪对格洛西普重新起诉，且不会再次寻求死刑判决。
“我们对这一裁决感到满意，”发言人莱斯利·伯杰在电子邮件中表示。
格洛西普的律师唐·奈特拒绝置评。

检方指控范·特里斯之死是一起雇凶杀人案。他们指责格洛西普策划杀害范·特里斯，而同案共犯贾斯汀·斯尼德为避免自己被判处死刑，同意出庭指证格洛西普。斯尼德是唯一将格洛西普与这起犯罪直接联系起来的证人。
但最高法院裁定，检方允许斯尼德提供其已知为虚假的心理健康史证词，这违反了格洛西普获得公平审判的宪法权利。德拉蒙德同意格洛西普应获得重审。
格洛西普一直坚称自己无罪，并获得了金·卡戴珊等知名人士的支持。范·特里斯的家人曾要求最高法院维持对格洛西普的定罪和判决。
在格洛西普被关押在死囚区期间，俄克拉荷马州法院先后为他设定了九次执行死刑的日期。他曾三次距离被处决仅一步之遥，还分别吃过三次断头饭。
每一次他都因俄克拉荷马州计划使用的注射死刑程序存在争议而被暂缓执行。2015年，他甚至被关押在俄克拉荷马州行刑室隔壁的牢房里，等待被绑在担架床上接受注射死刑，当时该州州长暂停了所有死刑执行，以审查死刑执行流程。

Ex-Oklahoma inmate who was nearly executed 3 times has new murder trial set a month after being released

A new murder trial is due to begin in September for Richard Glossip, the former Oklahoma inmate who spent decades on the state’s death row and was nearly executed three times before the Supreme Court overturned his conviction last year.
Glossip, 63, was granted bond in May and released from prison for the first time since his arrest on murder charges in 1997. Glossip was convicted and sentenced to death in the killing of his former boss, Barry Van Treese, who owned the Oklahoma City motel where Glossip worked and died after being bludgeoned with a baseball bat, according to court filings.
Attorneys representing Glossip had asked the state judge who ordered his release on bond to consider whether there was enough evidence to retry him. But after a hearing Tuesday, the judge ruled that a new trial would start Sept. 28.
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond had pledged to retry Glossip for first-degree murder. He is not pursuing the death penalty again.
“We are pleased with the ruling,” a spokesperson, Leslie Berger, said in an email.
Glossip’s attorney, Don Knight, declined to comment.

Prosecutors have alleged Van Treese’s death was a murder-for-hire scheme. They accused Glossip of setting up Van Treese’s murder, and a co-defendant, Justin Sneed, agreed to testify against Glossip to avoid the death penalty himself. Sneed was the only witness linking Glossip directly to the crime.
But the Supreme Court ruled that prosecutors allowed Sneed to give testimony about his mental health history that they knew was false, and said it violated Glossip’s constitutional right to a fair trial. Drummond agreed that Glossip should get a new trial.
Glossip has maintained his innocence and has drawn support from Kim Kardashian and other prominent figures. Van Treese’s family had asked the Supreme Court to leave Glossip’s conviction and sentence intact.
During Glossip’s time on death row, Oklahoma courts set nine different execution dates for him. He came so close to being put to death that he ate three separate last meals.
Each time, he was spared because of questions about Oklahoma’s planned procedures for lethal injection. In 2015, he was even held in a cell next to Oklahoma’s execution chamber, waiting to be strapped to a gurney and die by lethal injection, when the state’s governor put executions on hold to review its execution protocols.
