Julius Jones was convicted in the 1999 killing of Paul Howell in Oklahoma and was sentenced to death. He proclaims that he is innocent and first saw Howell on T.V. when his death was reported on the news. After new evidence and a long legal fight, on November 18th, the day that Jones was set to be executed, Governor Kevin Stitt commuted his sentence to life without the possibility of parole less than four hours before he was set to be executed.
We speak with Antoinette Jones, the sister of Julius Jones and Reverend Cece Jones-Davis, the campaign founder/director of Justice for Julius to discuss the latest in Julius’ case and their ongoing fight to prove his innocence.
