BREAKING: In a 3-2 vote, Oklahoma's Pardon and Parole board recommended clemency for Tremane Wood, a man sentenced to death for a killing his brother admitted to committing

The 3-2 vote was a stunning outcome in a case where the Oklahoma attorney general has personally intervened to try to secure Wood’s execution.
Tremane Wood is facing execution on November 13. I revisited his case to investigate how a group of judges and prosecutors have secretly coordinated in ways that have undermined Tremane’s final chance to live.

Next week, Tremane Wood will have the chance to make his case for mercy. Oklahoma's attorney general is fighting to ensure his death.
In 2001 brothers Jake and Tremane Wood committed a botched robbery that left Ronnie Wipf dead. Jake, who said he killed Ronnie, was sentenced to life. Tremane, who insisted he did not kill anyone, was sentenced to death.

Robert Roberson’s story shows exactly why we must end the death penalty. There's an abundance of evidence pointing to his innocence, but he's still on death row in Texas. Take a moment to read more in the San Antonio @ExpressNews:

The Texas Court of Appeals granting Robert Roberson a stay of execution gives us hope — but his fight for justice is long from over. Robert remains on death row for a crime that never even happened:

The death row inmate deserves a new trial in light of new evidence and evolving science.

Justice requires the courage to admit when we’re wrong. After two decades, Robert Roberson will finally have his case reviewed again — this time with new evidence and up-to-date science. Taking the time to get it right doesn’t weaken our system. It strengthens it.

It's World Day to End the Death Penalty. I'm rejoicing that the TCCA has given Robert Roberson a new lease of life. I'm saddened that this year has seen a sharp increase in executions over the past years. We have so much work to do to end this racist, flawed system.
