- Attorney General Gentner Drummond opposes clemency and says he will urge the governor to uphold the jury’s verdict.
- Wood’s legal team met with Stitt this week and called the discussion productive as faith leaders rallied and more than 300 national clergy signed appeals.
- State filings maintain Wood was the killer and cite prison misconduct, while his attorneys point to a brother’s confession and note a pending U.S. Supreme Court appeal.
