Tremane Wood is currently on death row, despite his older brother admitting to killing victim Ronnie Wipf in 2002.

Next week, he will have the chance to make his case for mercy.

Oklahoma's attorney general is fighting to ensure his death anyway.

Biden just commuted nearly 1,500 sentences—the largest grant of clemency by a president in a single day ever. He’s also the first to pardon those convicted of simple marijuana possession and former service members convicted of violating the military’s former laws against homosexual conduct.
