Oklahoma City in 2002. The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board voted 3-2 on Wednesday, Nov. 5, to recommend that Gov. Kevin Stitt commute his death sentence to life without the possibility of parole.
Tremane Wood spent more than 20 years on death row for the fatal stabbing of 19-year-old Ronnie Wipf during a motel-room robbery in 2002. Days after his sentence was commuted to life without parole, attention has shifted back to the deadly setup involving two women and Wood’s older brother.
Wood, 46, is set to be executed Nov. 13 for a fatal stabbing in Oklahoma City in 2002. He denies he was the stabber. He is asking the parole board to recommend to Gov. Kevin Stitt that his sentence be commuted. His clemency hearing is set for Nov. 5.
