Oklahoma appoints independent counsel to review Richard Glossip case
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond has appointed an independent counsel to conduct a comprehensive review of Richard Glossip's murder conviction and death sentence . Glossip, 59, was sentenced to death in the 1997 murder-for-hire killing of his boss, Oklahoma City motel owner Barry Van Treese, but has long maintained his innocence. He is scheduled to be executed on May 18—a date that was rescheduled from one in February after Oklahoma's Court of Criminal Appeals agreed to slow down the pace of the state's upcoming executions. Drummond on Thursday announced the appointment of former District Attorney Rex Duncan to review all aspects of Glossip's case, including the initial police investigation, two separate trials, sentencing and appeals. "Circumstances surrounding this case necessitate a thorough review," Drummond said in a statement. "While I am confident in our judicial system, that does not allow me to ignore evidence. This review helps ensure that justice … [Read more...] about Oklahoma appoints independent counsel to review Richard Glossip case
Oklahoma backtracks on “unsustainable” plan to execute one inmate a month
Oklahoma's Court of Criminal Appeals on Tuesday granted a request by the state's new attorney general to slow down the pace of upcoming executions. Last year, John O'Connor, Oklahoma's former attorney general, asked the court to set 25 executions spaced about a month apart. The state's new attorney general, Gentner Drummond, filed a motion last week requesting at least 60 days between executions, arguing that carrying out an execution a month was not sustainable. "One aspect that has become clear over time is that the current pace of executions is unsustainable in the long run, as it is unduly burdening the [Department of Corrections] and its personnel," Drummond wrote in his motion. "This is especially true given the extensive and intensive nature of the training DOC personnel undergo to prepare for each execution." On Tuesday, the court issued an order resetting execution dates for seven death row inmates, starting with Richard Glossip on May 18. The court also set … [Read more...] about Oklahoma backtracks on “unsustainable” plan to execute one inmate a month
Report Claims Bigfoot Was Seen in State Park: ‘State of Amazement’
A report filed with the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization on August 7 claimed that three people spotted a "Bigfoot" in Hunting Island State Park in South Carolina. According to the report , the sighting occurred at about noon on August 2 as they were leaving the lighthouse and driving along the exit road. "As we were rounding a slight curve on the exit road, we all spotted a creature walking quickly on the left side of the road approximately 15 to 20 feet in front of our car," the report said. "The incident happened very quickly as the creature disappeared into the lush Palmetto & Pine forest that surrounds the exit road." According to the Arizona State Museum , the legend of Bigfoot became popular in 1958 after a man created plaster casts of the huge footprints he found around his work site. Bigfoot is often described as being covered in hair and huge in size. "A Native American tradition in the Pacific Northwest tells of a giant hair-covered ogre named Tsonoqua … [Read more...] about Report Claims Bigfoot Was Seen in State Park: ‘State of Amazement’
TikToker Claims She Found ‘Humanoid’ Footprints in Washington Wilderness
One TikToker caught the attention of viewers after posting a now-viral series of videos detailing what she calls an "unexplainable encounter" at the top of a mountain. In her video, Olivia, known on the app as @chroniclesofolivia, describes the "controversial" encounter near Lena Lake, which occurred with her mom eight years ago. "It's something that my mom and I don't really talk about," she says of the incident. In the second video, Olivia claims that a formal case was opened after their experience, thus giving her access to "secret" government information—later, it's revealed that this case was filed with "The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization." Regardless, she claims that, as a result of the case, "There are things that the government knows about that I know about, that the public does not know." She continues, "There are creatures, there are 'humanoids,' that live in these National Parks that are not yet classified as a species, yet. She adds that "they live in perfect … [Read more...] about TikToker Claims She Found ‘Humanoid’ Footprints in Washington Wilderness
