The US Supreme Court has temporarily halted the execution of Richard Glossip, a death row inmate in Oklahoma. Glossip was convicted of murder and sentenced to death in 1998, but his case has been controversial and drawn attention from advocates who argue that he is innocent.

The stay of execution was issued on Friday, just hours before Glossip was scheduled to be put to death. The decision was made after the state attorney general said that he could no longer support Glossip's conviction due to new evidence that had come to light.

Glossip's case has been the subject of intense scrutiny and debate for years, with many people arguing that he was wrongly convicted. The Supreme Court's decision to halt his execution is a significant development in the case and could lead to further appeals and investigations.
