Summary

On July 28th, 1999, Julius Jones was playing monopoly with his family and soon to be a sophomore on an academic scholarship at the University of Oklahoma. That night, a man named Paul Howell was shot for his GMC Suburban in the nearby suburb of Edmund, Oklahoma. A few days later, Julius was taken into police custody even though the eyewitness description should have excluded him as a suspect. 3 witnesses (and counting) have come forward with sworn affidavits claiming that Julius’ former friend and co-defendant Chris Jordan has often taken sole responsibility for Paul Howell’s murder. Julius’ attorney Dale Baich, his mother and sister, Madeline and Antoinette Jones, as well as special guest Kim Kardashian join Jason Flom to discuss Julius’ case and the race to right this wrong. Since our initial release, Julius death sentence was commuted to life without parole along with some dire stipulations.

0:56.3	his clemency, just hours before he was set to be killed.
1:00.0	No, you might recognize that the tone of my voice still sounds heavy, and that's because

1:15.8	The governor commuted his sentence to life without the possibility of parole, along with
1:21.2	the gratuitously cruel stipulation that Julius shall never be eligible to apply for or
1:27.7	be considered for a commutation, pardon, or parole for the rest of his life.
1:34.0	However, Julius's Attorney Dale Beish assures me that the fight for this innocent man's
