Pope Asks Oklahoma Governor to Commute Glossip Execution: STAYED 37 Days [View all]

As things work in the spiritual universe - in mysterious ways - Pope Francis requested that Governor Fallin of Oklahoma to commute the execution sentence of Richard Glossip, who Susan Sarandon and Sister Ellen Prejean are proclaiming is an innocent man.

Though the Pope's request may have not gotten full consideration, the Governor "Stayed" the Execution, for 37 days.

It matters not what the reasoning/ excuse is (as Governor Fallin is upon the record stating the "Stay" is due to the fact that the lethal injection schedule, had legal issues); because there's no more time to get attention to the errant prosecution.

You simply can't undo an execution!





The pictures above, are from the UK's Dailymail online publication - that states;

The Pope (pictrued in the Vatican on Wednesday) has asked the Governor of Oklahoma to commute the death sentence of a convicted murderer Richard Glossip. He was set to be executed at 3pm, but he was granted a stay of execution by Governor Mary Fallin
