Washington — It's been nearly a decade since the Supreme Court first took up Oklahoma death row inmate Richard Glossip's unsuccessful challenge to the state's method of execution. On Wednesday, Glossip will be back at the Supreme Court, this time as the justices consider whether to toss out his conviction altogether and grant him a new trial.
In the 20 years since Glossip, 61, was convicted in a murder-for-hire scheme and sentenced to death, he has had nine execution dates scheduled and eaten his "last meal" three times. But in each of those instances, his executions were put off and his life spared.
The most recent reprieve came last year, when the high court agreed to block his death by lethal injection. Months later, the justices took up his bid for a new trial after Oklahoma's top law enforcement official argued his conviction and sentence should not stand.

While President Trump spoke with reporters about federal job cuts and signed executive orders in the Oval Office last Tuesday, a notable — and unannounced — visit was underway at Mr. Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. It wasn't publicized. But it could impact one of the highest-profile criminal trials in America this year.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is preparing to lose an additional 1,029 employees, according to sources that spoke to CBS News.

It might have seemed like one of the weirder headlines of 2024: Microsoft is paying $1.6 billion to restart Three Mile Island. That's the nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania whose reactor #2 had a partial meltdown in 1979. There were no injuries, and nobody died, but it set the nuclear industry back years. Only two new plants have been started since that accident.
