Supreme Court seems likely to give Oklahoma death row inmate a new day in court

WASHINGTON | The Supreme Court appeared likely Wednesday to give Oklahoma death row inmate Richard Glossip at least another day in court in his long quest to throw out his murder conviction and death sentence.

The justices heard arguments in a case that has produced a rare alliance in which lawyers for Glossip and the state argued that the high court should overturn Glossip’s conviction and death sentence because he did not get a fair trial.

The victim’s relatives have told the high court that they want to see Glossip executed.

Ethel Kennedy, wife of Robert F. Kennedy, has died

BOSTON, Mass. | Ethel Kennedy, who lost her husband Robert F. Kennedy to assassination, has died. She was 96. She was by her husband’s side when the senator was killed while running for president in 1968.

She endured that tragedy and many others while raising their 11 children.

A millionaire’s daughter and family matriarch, she advocated for many causes after founding the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights. She demonstrated for farmworkers in Florida and joined a hunger strike against President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
