*An Oklahoma man who is scheduled to be executed on Nov.18 was recommended for clemency by the state Pardon and Parole Board Monday.
We reported earlier, Julius Jones was 19-years-old he was convicted of a murder he says he did not commit. As previously shared in a petition by Rev. Cece Jones-Davis (Julius Jones Coalition), Jones, 41, is a Black man on death row in Oklahoma for almost 20 years. He is held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day. He is allowed one hour of sunlight a day, and three showers a week. Every minute we wait to take action, Julius is suffering. Every second that goes by brings Julius closer to being executed for a crime he didn’t commit.
Jones is scheduled to be executed on Nov. 18, despite the state’s parole board recommending that his sentence be commuted.
Yahoo writes, “Jones’ legal team is now awaiting the decision of Gov. Kevin Stitt after the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole board made their recommendation on Sept. 13. (In a 3-1 vote, the board ruled that Jones’ death sentence should be commuted to life in prison.)”
