Executing Richard Glossip Will Show a Brittle, Unsafe System

Veteran litigation lawyer and regular viewpoint series contributor James M. Doyle argues against the fetishizing of "finality" in the criminal justice system and points to the looming execution of Richard Glossip in Oklahoma, who has been tried, convicted, and sentenced to death twice for the murder of a motel manager in 1997. The author argues that the Oklahoma judiciary is proud of itself for forbidding adaptive reactions and enforcing brittleness, and that the looming execution shows how the legal system prioritizes the "finality of judgment" over ensuring that justice is served.
