Oklahoma’s Richard Glossip, who was nearly executed 3 times, granted bond while awaiting retrial

A federal appeals court on Friday temporarily halted Thursday’s scheduled execution of Edward Busby in Texas, citing concerns about his intellectual disability.

Oklahoma has executed a man convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend and her 7-month-old daughter almost 20 years ago.

The decision clears the way for Glossip, 63, to leave a lockup for the first time since his arrest nearly 30 years ago.

Natalie Mai, the judge, issued an order setting bond at $500,000.
