51 year old Richard Glossip has been on death row for 17 years now ever since he was convicted of murder in the first degree. He was put there by a single witness. He has maintained his story of innocence hoping he would avoid being sentenced to death on January 29th. Justin Sneed, who worked for Glossip, confessed to beating Barry Van Treese with a baseball bat. Glossip was afraid of losing his job so he "recruited" Sneed to do this for him. Later, Sneed said that Glossip had paid him 10,000 dollars to kill him. They were both charged with first degree murder, but Sneed received life sentence as opposed to Glossip's death sentence. In this interview, Glossip talks about how he hasn't let being on death row change him. He talked about how he has tried to make the most of his time there. He claims to be innocent and hopes that the court will work in his favor and he will be let out before his execution day.
