When lawyers for Richard Glossip argue before the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to vacate his conviction for a 1997 murder, the Oklahoma death row inmate will have an unlikely ally: Gentner Drummond, the state's Republican attorney general. Although Drummond has taken conservative stances on issues from immigration to abortion to environmental regulation, the decorated former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot broke with fellow Republican state attorneys general in Glossip's case after concluding prosecutors hid evidence that might have led to an acquittal. "If he is executed, I believe that it will be a travesty of justice," Drummond said in an interview.
