Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 69732, member: 636"] Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt granted clemency to death row inmate Tremane Wood, commuting his sentence to life imprisonment without parole. The decision followed a recommendation from the state's Pardon and Parole Board and came hours before Wood's scheduled execution. Wood had been convicted of first-degree murder for the death of Ronnie Wipf. The governor stated that his action aligned the punishment with the life sentence given to Wood's brother and co-defendant, Zjaiton Jake Wood. He added that the commutation ensured a violent offender would be permanently incarcerated. The decision prompted various reactions, with State Representative Cyndi Munson thanking advocates for their efforts, while Attorney General Gentner Drummond expressed his disappointment. [/QUOTE]
