Julius Jones is from Oklahoma City, OK, and was wrongly convicted in 2002 for a capital murder case that occurred in 1999. He was sentenced the Death Penalty. He has exhausted his appeals with the State of Oklahoma.
His story has been featured on ABC Network "The Last Defense" docu-series. This show has exposed the truth to the world that Mr. Jones is INNOCENT!! We do not want to see an innocent man die!!
Mr. Jones’ co-defendant fit an eyewitness’s description of the shooter, while Mr. Jones did not. His co-defendant was the state’s key witness against him, and the prosecution repeatedly told jurors at Mr. Jones’ trial that his co-defendant would serve a 30-year sentence in exchange for his testimony. However, after pleading guilty to the crime, Mr. Jones’ co-defendant was released after only 15 years and is now a free man.
In a case riddled with odious racial discrimination — including a police officer’s use of a racial slur during Mr. Jones’ arrest and the State’s removal of all prospective black jurors except one —evidence shows that a juror used the n-word before jury deliberations at the sentencing phase. The U.S. Supreme Court has made unequivocally clear that our criminal justice system cannot tolerate such blatant examples of racial prejudice on the part of even a single juror. In this way and many others, Mr. Jones’ rights under the state and federal constitutions have been violated and his conviction and death sentence should be overturned.
National support has been pouring in with the likes of: Kim Kardashian, Blake Griffin, Russell Westbrook, Trae Young, Buddy Hield, Common, and many more!
Please also go to our website: www.justiceforjulius.com to sign the petition and send your e-letters to the Oklahoma Pardon & Parole Board and Governor Stitt's office.
These funds will be used to support the personal needs of Julius Jones and #Justiceforjulius campaign needs.
