On Monday, the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board recommended that Governor Stitt commute Julius Jones' sentence to life with the possibility of parole for a second time. The Justice for Julius Movement is a human chain. Thank you all! We still have work to do!
| |  | | Take Urgent Action For Julius JonesOn Monday at Julius Jones' clemency hearing, Julius was seen and heard for the first in over 20 years. After hearing from Julius & his defense team's compelling argument for Julius' innocence, the OK Pardon & Parole Board voted 3-1 to commute Julius' sentence to life with the possibility of parole. WATCH: VIDEO FROM THE DAY OF THE HEARING Now it is up to Governor Kevin Stitt to accept the board's recommendation and commute Julius' sentence.
Despite the Board's recommendation, Julius' execution date is still set for November 18. Julius urgently needs your help!
Witness to Innocence is the only national organization in the United States composed of and led by exonerated death row survivors and their family members. Our mission is to abolish the death penalty by empowering our members to become effective leaders in the abolition movement. We actively challenge political leaders and the public to grapple with the reality of a fatally flawed criminal justice system that sends innocent people to death row. We also seek ways to support death row survivors and their loved ones as they confront the challenges of life after exoneration. |
