Talking Points Post Clemency Hearing

• On November 5, 2025, the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board voted 3–2 in favor of clemency for Tremane Wood. Now, the decision rests with Governor Stitt, who can choose justice and mercy over vengeance by granting clemency.
  
• Tremane is scheduled to be executed on November 13, 2025, even though someone else—his older brother, Jake Wood—confessed to being the actual killer and was sentenced to life in prison, not death.
  
• Tremane was 22 years old when he participated in a robbery with his brother and was sentenced to death under the felony murder rule, which allows the death penalty for people who did not kill or intend to kill anyone.
  
• The victim’s family, including Ronnie Wipf’s loved ones, publicly oppose Tremane’s execution, saying that killing Tremane is not justice.
  
• The Board called Tremane’s death penalty trial an “embarrassment” to the State of Oklahoma, noting that he was given a trial attorney who was abusing substances and spent just two hours working on Tremane’s case over 19 months before the death penalty trial.
  
• The jury in Tremane’s trial was never properly instructed on what prosecutors were required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt before he could even be eligible for the death penalty in a felony murder case. Attorney General Drummond’s Office has admitted at the clemency hearing that the jury should have been required to make these findings before Tremane could be eligible for the death penalty..
  
• Tremane’s trial lawyer, the prosecutor, and the trial  judge all failed to ensure the jury was correctly instructed on what the law required before Tremane could get the death penalty, meaning Tremane’s death sentence was imposed without the legal findings required under the law in felony murder cases.
  
• Tremane was tried by a mostly white jury with only one Black juror, who has testified that she was bullied and pressured into voting for a death sentence even though she believed Tremane should live.
  
• The jury never heard critical mitigating evidence about Tremane’s life, including his childhood sexual abuse, neglect, and trauma, or his remorse and shock immediately after the crime, including his insistence that, “No one was supposed to die!”
  
• Executing a man who did not kill anyone, where the confessed killer got a life sentence, whose lawyer abandoned him, and whose jury was not instructed on what the law required before Tremane could even be eligible for the death penalty, is not justice. The Governor should follow the Pardon and Parole Board’s recommendation and commute Tremane Wood’s death sentence to life imprisonment without parole.

Tremane’s Story

              Illustrated by Sam Heath at EJUSA

Tremane was 22 years old when he participated in a robbery with his older brother and co-defendant, Jake Wood, during which Jake unexpectedly killed Ronnie Wipf and later confessed to that fact.

Tremane is the only one of his co-defendants who was sentenced to death, and the confessed killer received a life sentence

Tremane is the only one of his co-defendants facing execution. In separate trials, Tremane was sentenced to death while his brother, Jake, was sentenced to life imprisonment despite confessing to being the one who carried out the killing. While Tremane’s brother was represented by three experienced capital defense lawyers, Tremane was represented by a lawyer who was battling drug addiction and did no work on Tremane’s case other than show up for court. The other robbery participants also received lesser sentences.

Tremane’s jury didn’t have critical information that would have supported a life sentence.

Tremane’s jury never heard that on the night of the crime, his violent and abusive older brother, Jake, pressured him to participate in the robbery during which Jake killed Ronnie Wipf.

The jury also never learned about Tremane’s profound remorse, which was manifest immediately following the crime and has never waned. According to sworn statements from two witnesses whom trial counsel never bothered to interview, in the aftermath of the crime, “It is hard for me to put into words the state Tremane was in . . . He was sobbing uncontrollably.” “Tremane was so distraught that he threw up,” and “kept saying he was sorry” and that “[n]o one was supposed to die!”

Nor did the jury learn that Tremane suffers from PTSD as a result of violence and neglect that he witnessed and endured beginning as a small child. The abusive older brother who led him to commit the crime was the closest thing Tremane had to an adult protector due to his absent parents’ neglect.
