As attorney general of Oklahoma, Gentner Drummond has personally attended nine executions. Since taking office in 2023, he's approved of every death row case in the state — except one.
"I believed it my duty to look at…every person on death row," he told CBS News. "When I stumbled across Richard Glossip, it was different. This is an individual who didn't murder the victim."
Glossip was convicted in the 1997 murder of a man who had been beaten to death. When Drummond examined the case, he learned the state knew its key witness lied during Glossip's trial.

They point to the stark difference between the aggressive response of the president and his top aides against those who allegedly assaulted police in Los Angeles, compared to their staunch defense of those who admitted beating and gassing police on Jan. 6. The disparity risks inflaming the already heated controversy in California.
