Oklahoma City -- On Wednesday, November 5, the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board recommended that Tremane Wood’s death sentence should be commuted to life imprisonment without parole. Governor Kevin Stitt now has the authority under state law to grant clemency to Mr. Wood and commute his death sentence. Mr. Wood is scheduled to be executed on November 13. During today’s clemency hearing, members of the Board expressed what a press release from Wood's attorney characterized as "concerns about the egregious unfairness attendant to Mr. Wood’s felony murder conviction. "The Board members also highlighted that prosecutors are ministers of justice and it was unfair for the trial prosecutors in Mr. Wood’s case to take inconsistent positions about who killed Ronnie Wipf at Mr. Wood’s trial and at his brother’s trial.
