Drummond's Multi-County Grand Jury indicts attorney accused of helping former death row inmate conceal contraband phone

OKLAHOMA CITY (Aug. 13, 2026) – Attorney General Gentner Drummond's Multi-County Grand Jury has indicted an Alabama attorney accused of helping former death row inmate Tremane Wood conceal a contraband cell phone while he was incarcerated at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester.

Robin Corinne Konrad, 50, an attorney licensed to practice in Alabama, is charged with one felony count of Accessory to Possession of Contraband in a Penal Institution and one misdemeanor count of Unlawful Communication with a Convict. 

According to the indictment, Konrad communicated with Wood on an unauthorized cell phone and directed him to hide the device in an effort to prevent its discovery. She also is accused of unlawfully communicating with Wood between March 17 and June 26, 2025, without authorization by law or consent of the warden. The indictment alleges that on or about March 26, 2025, Konrad aided Wood after he committed the felony crime of Possession of Contraband in a Penal Institution.

“Helping an inmate conceal contraband and evade detection is a serious violation of the law, and an attorney especially should know better,” Drummond said. “No one is above the law, and my office will hold accountable anyone who helps undermine the safety and security of Oklahoma's correctional facilities.”

Tremane Wood was sentenced to death for stabbing and killing 19-year-old Ronnie Wipf on New Year's Day in 2002 during a robbery in Oklahoma City. During his time in prison, Wood has possessed multiple contraband cell phones that he used to distribute drugs and engage in gang violence. Gov. Kevin Stitt granted Wood clemency in November 2025.

This case was investigated by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and filed in Pittsburg County District Court. All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
