Oklahoma Attorney General requests delay for execution of Tremane Wood

Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond is asking a judge to push back the execution of Death Row inmate Tremane Wood.

Wood was sentenced to death for the fatal stabbing of a 19-year-old during a robbery in 2001.

Wood's older brother, Zjaiton, was sentenced to life in prison after he told jurors he was the one who stabbed the man, and Tremane was innocent.

Now, new court documents show that Drummond requested the execution be delayed without telling Wood or his attorneys.

The judge involved has not made a decision yet.

Drummond's office says it has no comment at this time.
