Prosecutorial misconduct: Non-disclosure of the informant deals is prosecutorial misconduct and a violation of Julius’ constitutional rights.Junk forensic science: The State’s forensic case against Julius relied on the now discredited testimonies of FBI analyst Kathleen Lundy and Terrence Higgs, a firearms examiner for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.There are grave doubts about the reliability of Julius Jones’ conviction, including: A secret deal with the person likely responsible for the crime: The jury never knew the prosecution promised Christopher Jordan he would get out of prison in just 15 years in exchange for blaming Julius for what he, in fact, had done – something Jordan admitted to multiple disinterested witnesses who have since come forward to attest to that fact under oath.But they never testified because Julius’s lawyers – who had never handled a death penalty case before – decided not to call a single witness. The alibi that the jury never heard: Julius’s mother, father, sister, and older brother were all adamant Julius was at home when Mr.The description of the hair sticking out perfectly fit Julius’s co-defendant, Christopher Jordan, who testified against Julius to avoid the death penalty. The jury was never shown a photograph of Julius, taken just days before the shooting, showing his hair was too short to fit that description. An eyewitness identification that did not match Julius: The only eyewitness to Paul Howell’s tragic murder described the shooter as having half-an-inch of hair sticking out from underneath a stocking cap.Overwhelming evidence points to Julius’ innocence, including: But to make sure that happens, he needs to hear from us. Governor Kevin Stitt has commuted sentences for hundreds of incarcerated people with the stroke of his pen - he can again. His case has also garnered bipartisan support from prominent state officials, celebrities, faith leaders, and the victim’s own girlfriend, Connie Ellison. The majority of Oklahomans believe Julius’ sentence should be commuted (according to a recent poll, 6 in 10 Oklahomans). A juror who voted to convict called Julius the n-word. The prosecutor hid key context from the jury. An FBI agent who testified against him later admitted to lying under oath. The case against Julius Jones is riddled with misconduct. And the key witness for the prosecution took a secret deal to reduce his own prison time. An eyewitness identified someone else at the crime scene. Julius has an alibi for the crime he is accused of, but the jury never heard it. His death sentence has been commuted after intense public pressure, but he still faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.
