Judge Failed to Disclose Personal Ties to Prosecutor in Two Death Row Cases Veteran prosecutor Fern Smith convicted both Tremane Wood and Richard Glossip. She calls a judge in both cases a friend.

UPDATE: Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt granted clemency to Tremane Wood on November 13, shortly before his scheduled execution.

Oklahoma governor grants clemency for death row inmate after state panel recommendation Tremane Wood, 46, was sentenced to die for his role in the stabbing death of a 19-year-old migrant farmworker from Montana during a botched robbery attempt on New Year’s Day 2002.

The death penalty should be abolished. Until that day, clemency will have to do.

Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today.

She looks kind of lonely. No GOP takers?....anyone?....Boebert?....Boebert?...Boebert?

I'm sorry, you've got to be a Dem strategist if you think this makes a difference. Yes, Trump and the Republicans lie, bigly. It's a feature, not a bug, for their supporters. The only thing likely to break the spell is the very real material consequences about to rain down on all us. Buckle up.
