Death row inmate Julius Jones, whose case has garnered attention from individuals across the nation, including celebrities, is scheduled to be executed on Nov. 18, despite the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board’s recommendation for commutation. Still, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt will have the final say in Jones’ case; however, he stated he will not make a decision until after the Oct. 26 clemency hearing.
Jones, a black man, has been on death row in Oklahoma for 19 years for a 1999 murder of a white insurance executive, though he’s maintained his innocence and evidence shows that he was wrongfully convicted.
The Justice for Julius campaign lists compelling evidence about the case which supports his innocence, including:
- Christopher Jordan, the state’s star witness who claims to have been a get-away-driver but not the triggerman, has confessed multiple times to multiple people that he is the real murderer, and that he set Julius up to receive a reduced sentence. There are videos and sworn affidavits from multiple people, none of whom know each other, attesting to this fact.
-  Julius has an alibi – he was home with his parents and sister when the murder occurred. His inexperienced and unprepared legal team failed to present that alibi at trial or to call either Julius or his family to the stand.
- Julius did not match the description of the killer. The only eyewitness described a man with 1-2 inches of hair. Julius had a shaved head. Christopher Jordan, however, had braids that met that description.
