Attorney General Candidate Calls Death Penalty Case "Concerning"

I spoke with Nick Coffey, a Democratic candidate for Oklahoma Attorney General, about the case of Tremane Wood.

Tremane Wood became only the second person in modern Oklahoma history to gain clemency from execution on Nov. 13, despite numerous attempts from Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond to proceed with lethal injection.

AG Drummond, a once-moderate Republican running for Governor on a MAGA message, was accused of illegally and unethically trying to influence the judges and procedures in Wood’s case. In a recent interview with Nick Coffey, a Democratic candidate for Oklahoma Attorney General, he called the case “highly concerning” and said he would’ve treated the case differently.

Watch the clip above, and stay tuned for the full interview Friday. If you want reporting and analysis that goes beyond headlines and gets to the heart of the issue, subscribe to In Depth With Deon. Help me build a platform that amplifies the voices and stories that too often go unheard.
