Oklahoma is preparing to execute a man after a state panel recommended his life be spared. Forty-six-year-old Tremane Wood is scheduled to receive a lethal injection Thursday at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. He is convicted of stabbing a migrant farmworker to death during a 2002 robbery. He says his brother, who died serving a life sentence, committed the killing. The Pardon and Parole Board recommended that Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt grant him clemency. But Stitt has declined to take any action on that recommendation. Wood's attorneys also have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stop the execution.
