Oklahoma Governor Grants Clemency to Death Row Inmate Tremane Wood Just Before Execution

In a dramatic turn of events, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt granted clemency to death row inmate Tremane Wood just moments before his scheduled execution. Wood, who was set to be executed by lethal injection, had consumed his last meal when the governor intervened, sparing his life following a recommendation from a state panel. However, just hours after the clemency was granted, Wood was found unresponsive in his cell and was subsequently hospitalized. Despite the alarming situation, officials stated that Wood is expected to recover. The case has drawn significant attention to the controversial nature of the death penalty and the procedures surrounding clemency in Oklahoma.
