In Oklahoma, advocates have been rallying outside the barricaded Governor’s Mansion ahead of the planned Thursday execution of prisoner Julius Jones. Jones was convicted of a 1999 murder but has maintained his innocence. Oklahoma’s Pardon and Parole Board twice recommended that his death sentence be commuted to life in prison with the possibility of parole, but the final decision now rests with Governor Kevin Stitt. The Innocence Project has said three prisoners incarcerated with Jones’s co-defendant, Christopher Jordan, have said in sworn affidavits that Jordan told them that he committed the murder and framed Julius Jones.
