Frontier Editor in Chief Ziva Branstetter sits down with staff writers Cary Aspinwall and Dylan Goforth to discuss the indictment of Tulsa County Sheriff Stanley Glanz and another failed attempt at executing Richard Glossip.
Weigel said the sheriff’s office will begin to immediately implement all eight recommendations made by the grand jury.
We will have ongoing coverage of his case, as well as other death penalty cases in the state. In the meantime, look at these pictures, by photographer Shane Bevel, from a crazy day in McAlester.
“So,” Bowman wrote, “I was assigned this investigation by the Sheriff after he advised the key person to not talk to me or anyone else about it.”
“I am certainly sorry to see the way it ended,” said Sand Springs Police Chief Mike Carter.
Glossip was scheduled to be put to death at 3 p.m. Wednesday but the state didn’t have the right drug so he received a 37-day stay.
Glanz, who was out of state, said through his attorney, Scott Wood, that he would resign prior to a Nov. 10 hearing over his misdemeanor charges. Meanwhile, Undersheriff Rick Weigel will take control of day-to-day operations, Wood said.
At 2 p.m. a report containing the grand jury’s actual findings will be released.
In the meantime, here are the eight recommendations the grand jury suggested for the sheriff’s office.
