Branson vows to continue fight to save life of man on death row in US

Billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson has vowed to fight for the next 40 days to save the life of a US death row inmate whose execution was postponed at the last minute.

He says Richard Glossip, convicted of ordering his boss’s murder, is innocent and did not receive a fair trial.

The state of Oklahoma issued a last-minute stay of execution until November 6 over concerns about one of the three drugs to be used in the lethal injection, potassium acetate.
