The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the appeal of Richard Glossip, the Oklahoma death row inmate whose execution has already been rescheduled eight times. The case created an unusual battle between Oklahoma’s Republican Attorney General and its highest court.

The justices granted certiorari in Glossip v. Oklahoma on Monday morning and directed the parties to brief an additional question of state criminal procedure.

Glossip, now 60, was convicted in 1998 and sentenced to death for the murder-for-hire of his motel-owner boss, Barry Van Treese the prior year. It is undisputed that Justin Sneed actually killed Van Treese. Sneed, who had a history of drug abuse and psychiatric problems that was not disclosed by prosecutors, later testified that he named Glossip as a way of cooperating with prosecutors and avoiding the death penalty himself. Sneed also told other inmates that he acted alone to rob Van Treese with the plan that he and his girlfriend would use the robbery funds to buy drugs.
