Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Oklahoma's governor granted clemency to death row inmate Tremane Wood after more than 20 years on the block.

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt issued his notice Thursday morning shortly before Wood was scheduled to be executed.

"After a thorough review of the facts and prayerful consideration, I have chosen to accept the Pardon and Parole Board's recommendation to commute Tremane Wood's sentence to life without parole," stated the Republican governor.

Wood, who was denied killing anyone, was sentenced to death for the 2002 murder of Ronnie Wipf, 19.
