Kim Kardashian Posts $500,000 Bail for Former Death Row Inmate Richard Glossip
Kim Kardashian has reportedly paid the $500,000 bail for Richard Glossip, a former death row prisoner in Oklahoma who spent nearly three decades behind bars for a 1997 murder conviction that was recently overturned. The U.S. Supreme Court vacated Glossip’s conviction in 2025, ruling that prosecutors had allowed false testimony during his original trial. Following a judge's order setting the bond, Glossip was released from the Oklahoma County Detention Center to await a new trial. He is required to wear an electronic monitoring device, remain within Oklahoma, and avoid contact with witnesses or substance use. This marks the first time Glossip has been free since his arrest, having previously come within hours of execution multiple times. Film producer Scott Budnick confirmed Kardashian's financial support, noting her long-standing advocacy for his freedom. Glossip expressed gratitude to his wife and legal team upon release, while his attorneys highlighted the systemic flaws in his case, citing serious misconduct by state prosecutors as identified by the Supreme Court.
