OKLAHOMA CITY — Richard Glossip, a former Oklahoma death row inmate, was released from incarceration last month after nearly three decades. A state judge released Glossip on bond, and he is scheduled to be back in court as his case proceeds toward a retrial for a 1997 killing.

The U.S. Supreme Court overturned Glossip's initial conviction last year. The Court ruled that prosecutors' decision to allow a key witness to give testimony they knew to be false violated Glossip's constitutional right to a fair trial.

Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond said the state would seek to retry Glossip on a murder charge. Drummond added that the state would not pursue the death penalty again against Glossip.

A hearing on Tuesday will determine whether Glossip's case goes straight to retrial or if he will be given a new hearing to determine whether there is enough evidence to proceed. Glossip has maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings.

Glossip was sentenced to death for the 1997 killing of Barry Van Treese in Oklahoma City. Van Treese was Glossip's former boss and a motel owner. Prosecutors alleged the killing was a murder-for-hire scheme, and Van Treese was beaten with a baseball bat.

Oklahoma courts set nine different execution dates for Glossip during his time on death row. In 2015, he was held in a cell next to Oklahoma's execution chamber. Van Treese's family had asked the Supreme Court to leave Glossip's conviction and sentence intact. Public figure Kim Kardashian has supported Glossip. Records show Glossip ate three separate last meals while on death row.
