Podcast: Another Dead Man Walking - Part Two

Nearly two hundred thousand people have now signed a petition calling for a stay of execution for Richard Glossip.

The death row prisoner is due to die by lethal injection on 16 September.

There’s been huge interest in his case since the actress Susan Sarandon told Sky News he was “clearly innocent".

Next week, the popular US TV programme "Dr Phil" will broadcast an hour-long special about the case.

The murder for which Glossip was convicted was committed by another man, who earned a reprieve from the death sentence by testifying that Glossip had hired him to do it.

Glossip refused to plead guilty, even though he too would have avoided execution by doing so.

In Part 2 of his podcast series “Another Dead Man Walking”, Ian Woods reports how Glossip’s case became the centre of a national debate about the use of lethal injection, and how a late stay of execution was to prove to be only temporary.
