An Oklahoma appeals court on Wednesday issued a last-minute stay of execution for murderer Richard Glossip so it can consider evidence that his lawyers say points to his innocence.
Glossip had been scheduled for execution at 3 p.m. CDT (4 p.m. EDT) on Wednesday. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals set the new execution date for Sept. 30.
