In Oklahoma, the clock is ticking to save the life of death row prisoner Julius Jones, who is scheduled to be executed today at 4 p.m. Central Time unless Governor Kevin Stitt grants him clemency. Julius Jones, a Black man, has long maintained his innocence in a 1999 murder, and three people have said in sworn affidavits that Jones’s co-defendant, Christopher Jordan, admitted he was responsible for the killing. The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board has twice voted in favor of commuting Jones’s sentence to life in prison with the possibility of parole. On Wednesday, students across Oklahoma City walked out of class in support of Julius Jones.
