The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board has voted 3-2 to grant clemency to Tremane Wood — and Oklahoma Attorney General fights clemency for death row inmate this week.
Wood is on death row after stabbing and killing 19-year-old Montana farm worker Ronnie Wipf in a New Year’s Day motel robbery.

Attorney General Gentner Drummond says he will personally push the governor to ensure the execution is carried out next week despite the board recommendation.

Drummond stated that Wood continued to run a drug trafficking operation from his death row cell — and that public safety requires that the sentence be completed as ruled by the state.
governor decision pending
The final decision now rests with the governor, who must either accept or reject the clemency recommendation. State legal procedure requires execution timing decisions remain aligned to statutory authority and sentencing orders already in place.
