Anybody who streams content has seen a zillion mysteries/court cases of Hollywood story-telling and love to speculate on cases like this. Having covered a few murder trials, I saw where law enforcement's judgement is not a perfect record, with complex individual motives and bias that can rival the criminal's; but Glossip went from a role of promising hospitality management to a descent into motel hell. His actions after the event were despicable, but testimony alone is probably a weak death penalty case. As to this case abolishing the death penalty, keep wishing. It serves a noble purpose that many times expresses the wishes of the victim's family, who has been exponentially hurt for decades compared to the perpetrator(s). If you have ever spent time with criminals in a jail, after getting hit up for cigarettes/drugs, they will ALL proclaim their innocence.
"...they will ALL proclaim their innocence." NOT TRUE. My first time going inside a prison to work with men, the first inmate I interacted with, in response to the question, Who in your life betrayed you or did you betray?" openly admitted that he had betrayed his daughter by taking the life of her mother. That same weekend, three other inmates I encountered openly acknowledged their crimes, as have men I have encountered in another state prison I visit weekly. And, yes, I have come across less than a handful who have proclaimed their innocence, though I make no effort to judge their veracity one way or other. (fwiw, I am a lifelong conservative/Republican, not a soft-on-crime liberal.)
