TUESDAY 11/16 Julius Jones Execution Decision Watch
THREAD
We are 52 hours from Julius Jones' scheduled execution & awaiting a decision from Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt to see if he will grant clemency as Pardon & Parole Board recommended.
#deathpenalty
The family of Julius Jones and supporters are back at the Capitol today sitting vigil as they await a decision from Governor Stitt if he will grant clemency.
Some supporters also sat vigil across from the Governor’s Mansion overnight.
#deathpenalty
Today clergy members have asked to meet with Governor Stitt about Julius Jones execution which is scheduled for Thursday. They were told he’s not available to meet.
#Oklahoma #deathpenalty
Inside the Capitol, Julius’ family members and supporters are praying and sitting vigil.
As I shared in my thread yesterday, Julius’ mom Madeline went to Governor Stitt’s office to deliver a letter and asked to meet with Governor Stitt.
#Oklahoma #deathpenalty
I shared this yesterday but for anyone who missed, here’s the moment Governor Stitt's Chief of Communications Charlie Hannema told Madeline Davis-Jones that Stitt would not meet with her about her son’s impending execution. (MORE)
#Oklahoma #JuliusJones #deathpenalty
NEW- Governor Stitt staff tells clergy members Stitt can’t meet with them because he’s praying over the Julius Jones execution decision.
Pardon and Parole Board has recommended clemency and sentence of life in prison with possibility of parole.
#Oklahoma #deathpenalty
Additional information about Governor Stitt being in prayer and unable to meet with clergy about Julius’ pending execution scheduled Thursday.
Supporters of Julius Jones & his family are sitting vigil outside the governor’s office as they await Stitt’s decision.
#deathpenalty
Here is an update thread from supporters about the meeting of clergy members and Governor Stitt’s chief counsel and Chief of Communications Charlie Hannema.
#JuliusJones #Oklahoma
“We are believing God, we are truly believing God that our governor will grant clemency to Julius and for Julius Jones. We’re believing God for that.”

Pastor Scobey following meeting with Governor Stitt’s Chief of Communications Charlie Hannema and governor’s chief counsel
To provide some background for those outside of Oklahoma- Governor Stitt has spoken openly about his faith and how important it is to him.
His father, Rev. John Stitt, is a longtime pastor.
Rev. Stitt has participated in events including National Day of Prayer at OK Capitol.
Julius Jones’ case has received national and international attention.
Today the European Union in the US shared they sent a letter to Stitt asking him to grant Julius clemency.
#Oklahoma #deathpenalty
NEW- Here is another update and a letter from the Government of Austria also asking Governor Stitt to grant clemency for Julius Jones.
#Oklahoma #deathpenalty
The family of Paul Howell is also waiting on a decision.
They’ve spoken publicly about how they want Governor Stitt to reject the Pardon and Parole Board’s recommendation so that Julius will be executed Thursday.
Paul’s daughters were in car when he was shot/killed in 1999. Image
The Howell family also created a website called Justice for Paul Howell. They firmly believe Julius Jones killed Paul. Jones has always maintained his innocence.
Here’s the Howell website for anyone who wants to read about Paul & their beliefs abt. case.

NEW- Oklahoma Atty General O’Connor tells @rtmradio
“there’s no way the Pardon and Parole Board in a few hours Can get a handle on the evidence, the facts, the facial expressions, the answers of the witnesses, the credibility of the witnesses.” 06:05
In an interview today with @rtmradio Oklahoma Attorney General John O’Connor seems to call into question the entire role of the Pardon and Parole Board and if they can do their job due to time constraints.
Majority of PPB was appointed by Governor Stitt.
Background-Attorney General O’Connor had tried to remove 2 members of Pardon & Parole Board.
Both were appointed by Governor Stitt.
One said AG’s actions were “for the sole purpose of delaying and disrupting Julius Jones' clemency hearing.”
History 👇🏼
publicradiotulsa.org/local-regional…
In the end, the 2 members were NOT removed & both participated in Julius Jones’ clemency hearing.
One of those members has now asked the OK Supreme Court to sanction AG O’Connor for his attempts to remove those members. Just wanted to provide background
okcfox.com/news/local/par…
BREAKING: Within the last hour @photogbenlatham got this video as police are setting up barricades outside the governor’s mansion.
We’re still awaiting decision from Gov. Stitt about if he will grant Julius Jones clemency or if Jones will be executed in 48 hours.
#deathpenalty
Reaction and takeaways THREAD 👇🏼from OKC City Councilwoman @jospacebear
This follows police setting up barricades outside the governor’s mansion as we await Governor Stitt’s decision about Julius Jones’ execution which is scheduled in 47 hours.
#deathpenty #Oklahoma
I shared this yesterday, but as we close in less than 47 hours until Jones scheduled execution….
There’s a very serious situation about Oklahoma’s lethal injection methods and now 3 botched executions.
Here’s that thread in case you want to read.
#deathpenalty #Oklahoma
It’s hard to imagine what both Julius Jones’ & Paul Howell’s families are feeling right now and what Julius must be thinking as he’s in confinement waiting for Governor Stitt’s decision.
Again, on Nov. 1st-Pardon & Parole Board recommended clemency.
apnews.com/article/oklaho…
I’m seeing several national reports about @KimKardashian support for Julius Jones and the long thread she wrote last night.
NBC News said they reached out to Governor Stitt’s office for comment today but didn’t get a reply.
#Oklahoma #deathpenalty
nbcnews.com/news/us-news/k…
“The state is so bent on vengeance that they will make every effort to ensure they get to kill Julius- including reviving him if he happens to go into cardiac arrest prior to the execution.”
Kim Kardashian West in her long thread last night voicing support for Julius Jones.
NEW- OKC police say they set up barricades outside Governor’s mansion after request from @OHPDPS to provide a “safe place” for peaceful protestors.
#Oklahoma #deathpenalty #JuliusJones
“Obviously there’s a victim in the case, and that family deserves justice, but part of justice is fairness, and we need to be able to expect that the system in place is providing that.”
@okcthunder Coach Mark Daigneault talking abt. Julius Jones case.
oklahoman.com/story/sports/2…
A few weeks ago @StephenCurry30 @warriors talked with Julius Jones on the phone & said he hopes to meet Julius one day.
“They’re living it every single day 24/7, 365 and you can’t imagine what they’re going through and what Julius is going through.”
#JuliusJones #deathpenalty
NOW- Antoinette Jones who is Julius’ sister is addressing a crowd of supporters at a prayer vigil outside Governor’s mansion.
“We are praying for his life.”
Still awaiting Gov. Stitt’s decision about clemency. 45 hours till execution.
#deathpenalty #Oklahoma Image
“Father we also pray for the Howell family, may you be their peace”
Rev. Marcus Carruthers at prayer vigil outside Governor’s mansion also prayed for Gov. Stitt and Julius Jones & family. The vigil started w/22 seconds of silence marking each year Julius has been on death row. Image
Madeline Davis-Jones fights tears as she prays at the vigil with supporters of her son Julius Jones.
She asked God to bless over the Howell family, prayed for Governor Stitt and AG O’Connor.
“I know God has everything in place.”
#Oklahoma #deathpenalty Image
Tonight FB live @RepJasonLowe shared he talked w/Julius Jones on phone.
Rep. Lowe said Jones asked “What’s going on? Why is the governor taking so long?”
Lowe said Jones also thanked everyone who has called Gov’s office, written letters of support.
44 hours until execution. Image
BREAKING: Rallies for #JuliusJones planned across the country tomorrow.
Less than 48 hours until Jones’ scheduled execution, awaiting decision from Governor Stitt about clemency.
#Oklahoma #deathpenalty
Prayer vigil is over outside Governor’s mansion. Just like last night, some #JuliusJones supporters will spend the night outside sitting vigil.
The world awaits a decision from Governor Stitt to learn if he will grant clemency or if Julius will be executed Thursday.
#Oklahoma

Update- Defense attorney Kevin Gough is once again trying to argue to keep more “black pastors” out of the courtroom gallery and from sitting with Ahmaud’s parents.
The state has rested, defense starts tomorrow.
In his arguments Gough says he’s checked into website (MORE) Image
And Gough says a large rally of pastors planned outside the courthouse Thursday is not in response to anything that happened in the courtroom.
To be clear, last week Gough said “we don’t want any black pastors coming in here.”
He then said this…..
After all that happened, with defense attorney Gough saying more “black pastors” should not to be allowed in courtroom gallery—Rev. Al Sharpton asked all clergy to come for a prayer gathering outside the courthouse on Thursday. @TheRevAl
