“I’m not a monster, I’m not a killer,” Wood said at his clemency hearing. “I never was and I never have been. The person I am deep inside is a son, a brother, a father, a uncle, a friend and a grandfather — something that I never thought I would live to experience.”

HuffPost reporter @jessicaschulberg.bsky.social has been following Wood’s case for years.

Her coverage shed light on Wood’s case — from his severely impaired trial lawyer to the Oklahoma attorney general working behind the scenes in ways that could have tanked Tremane’s chances of clemency.

Last week, the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board made the surprise decision to vote to recommend clemency for Wood.

Wood’s presentation to the board included quotes from Barbara Wipf, the victim’s mother, to HuffPost stating her desire for Wood to live.

Wood, who has spent more than 20 years on death row, was scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on Thursday morning.

His case marks the second time Stitt has commuted a death sentence since entering office in 2019.
