Justice for Julius Jones

I recently learned about the case of Julius Jones and wanted to share it here for anyone that may not be aware. He was on an academic scholarship as a freshman at Oklahoma University, and at 19 he was wrongfully convicted of murder. His co-defendant served 15 years and is now a free man, despite admitting that he set Julius up. Julius has lived on death row for almost 20 years and is held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day. He is roughly 113 days from execution. Please visit justiceforjuliusjones.com and take action, as well as watching the documentary. African Americans are 13% of the population, but constitute 47% of the 1,900 exonerations (as of October 2016). *UPDATED INFORMATION: The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board has asked Attorney General Mike Hunter to weigh in on whether or not Julius’ case for commutation can be heard. justiceforjuliusjones.com
