Great deal of controversy about this one. Seems that his conviction was based on the actual murderer's testimony and a few jailhouse snitches. Prejean and Sarandon have involved themselves in this one.
Glossip, 51, was sentenced to die for his role in the 1997 killing of Barry Alan Van Treese at Oklahoma City’s Best Budget Inn.
Glossip was a manager at the motel. Prosecutors said Glossip feared being fired and devised a plot to kill Treese.
The motel’s maintenance man, Justin Sneed, pleaded guilty to killing Treese, and he testified against Glossip in exchange for a sentence of life without parole.

Has ordered his last meal. Pizza, fish and chips and a large strawberry shake.
A strange perception I have, but I don't associate fish and chips with the US. In the British Commonwealth, there wouldn't be a town without some type of fish and chips store.

Defense claims they have new evidence he is innocent, want 60 days to prove it.

Rayozz, there were no "jailhouse snitches." The primary evidence against Glossip came from a co-conspirator, Justin Sneed, who committed the murder. Sneed's statements were corroborated by Glossip's inconsistent statements to investigators, and inconsistent statements to other hotel employees. The fact that his attorneys spent months running a PR campaign, rather than filing claims in court should tell you that the alleged "evidence" of his actual innocence doesn't exist.
