Jeffery Wood

On August 19, 2016 the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals issued a stay of execution, sending the case back to the original trial court.

On August 19, 2008, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles voted 7–0 against clemency for Wood. The governor of Texas can only grant one 30-day stay of execution without a recommendation from the board for a longer stay.

Five and a half hours before Wood's scheduled execution on August 21, 2008, a federal judge in San Antonio issued a stay of execution to allow a hearing to determine whether Wood was mentally competent.

Wood was convicted and sentenced to death although he was not in the store during the killing and though he claims he was not aware that Reneau was going to use force. Wood has been on the Texas death row since March 3, 1998. Additionally, Wood is borderline mentally disabled with an IQ of 80 and was initially judged not mentally fit to stand trial.

Shortly after 6:00 a.m. on January 2, 1996, Wood and Daniel Earl Reneau parked outside a Texaco station in Kerrville, Texas. While Wood waited outside, Reneau entered the station and pointed a .22-caliber handgun at clerk Kris Keeran. When Keeran did not respond to Reneau's requests, Reneau shot the clerk, killing him almost instantly.

Jeffery Lee Wood (born August 19, 1973) was scheduled to be executed by the state of Texas on August 24, 2016, before a stay was issued by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. As in the case of Kenneth Foster, Wood's death sentence stems from the Texas law of parties, which is related to the felony murder rule.
