“The Office of the Oklahoma Attorney General respects the statutory authority of the Governor to make this decision. I know Governor Stitt is making what he believes is the right decision. I appreciate the Governor’s condition that Mr. Jones never be released from prison. However, we are greatly disappointed that after 22 years, four appeals, including the review of 13 appellate Judges, the work of the investigators, prosecutors, jurors, and the trial Judge have been set aside. A thorough review of the evidence confirms Julius Jones’ guilt in this case and that the death penalty was warranted. Our office will continue to work for justice and for the safety of all Oklahomans, including families like Paul Howell’s. We recognize that the pain of losing a loved one never ends, and our hearts and prayers are with the Howell family.”
- Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter
For the past twenty-one years, both the state and federal judicial system have been involved scrutinizing this case. The courts have heard multiple appeals in multiple forms and at multiple levels from Julius Jones. They have found no claim which necessitated the granting of relief. Julius Jones’ defense team’s only hope now is to create such an uproar through a misinformation campaign as to put pressure on those that grant commutation or clemency. So for that, they turn to celebrities to help spread their misinformation…athletes and influencers with millions of followers. They turn to social justice warriors who do not have access to the transcripts, or to the legal opinions authored by the various appellate courts. Individuals who blindly trust that what they are being told is the truth. These social justice warriors, whom although well intentioned, know nothing about the rules of the evidence, trial strategy and the admissibility of evidence.

“The fact is, Julius Jones murdered Paul Howell in cold blood in front of his sister and daughters. No celebrity imploration or profusion of misinformation will change that.”

We, the members of Unit 1012: The VFFDP, stand with the family members of Paul Howell and we know that Julius Jones is guilty. Read this article and hear from the Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter. He is similar to Montez Spradley or Anthony Porter or Timothy Hennis. All were innocence fraud cases.
While, it was a difficult decision for Governor Stitt to commute his death sentence to LWOP, we still know the truth, Julius Jones is 100% guilty. We thank all those who supported the Howell Family. That is why Malcolm X’s warning was true:
“The media’s the most
powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and
to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds
of the masses. The press is so powerful in its image-making role, it can make
the criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the
criminal. This is the press, an irresponsible press. It will make the criminal
look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If
you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are
being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
Gov. Stitt commutes Julius Jones' sentence to life in prison without parole
Friday, November 19th 2021
OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) - Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt commuted the sentence of Julius Jones to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Thursday.
“After prayerful consideration and reviewing materials presented by all sides of this case, I have determined to commute Julius Jones’ sentence to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole," Stitt said.
Jones was scheduled to be executed on Thursday afternoon.
Stitt has ordered that Jones won't be eligible to apply for or be considered for a commutation, pardon, or parole for the remainder of his life.
The state’s Pardon and Parole Board recommended in a 3-1 vote on Nov. 1 that Stitt commute Jones’ sentence to life in prison with the possibility of parole.
"While we hoped the Governor would adopt the Board's recommendation in full by commuting Julius' sentence to life with the possibility of parole in the light of the overwhelming evidence of Julius' innocence, we are grateful that the Governor has prevented an irreparable mistake," said Amanda Bass, an attorney for Jones.
Jones' mother, Madeline Davis-Jones, said she was grateful that she won't be watching her son die in an execution chamber.
“For over twenty years, I have been haunted by the idea of watching my baby boy die in an execution chamber for a murder that occurred when he was home with his family," Davis-Jones said. "I am grateful that after today’s decision by the governor, that can no longer happen."
The Howell family said they recognized that Stitt had a difficult decision to make.
"We know Governor Stitt had a difficult decision to make," the Howell family said in a statement. "We take comfort that his decision affirmed the guilt of Julius Jones and that he shall not be eligible to apply for, or be considered for, a commutation, pardon, or parole for the remainder of his life."

The Oklahoma Attorney General's Office expressed disappointment with Stitt's decision.
"I know Governor Stitt is making what he believes is the right decision," the office said in a release. "I appreciate the Governor’s condition that Mr. Jones never be released from prison. However, we are greatly disappointed that after 22 years, four appeals, including the review of 13 appellate Judges, the work of the investigators, prosecutors, jurors, and the trial Judge have been set aside. A thorough review of the evidence confirms Julius Jones’ guilt in this case and that the death penalty was warranted."

Jones was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to die for the 1999 shooting death of Paul Howell during a carjacking in Edmond.
Jones maintains he is innocent and claims he was framed by the actual killer, a high school friend and co-defendant who testified against Jones and was released from prison after 15 years.
Supporters of Jones have been camped out in support at the Oklahoma State Capitol most of the week.
You killed a person and
you are put in prison for life? The one you killed is not in jail but he is
dead." - Yoweri Museveni

Though the Howell family is not commenting at this time, they have approved the following by close friends and supporters:
Close friends & victim advocates from Justice 4 Peggy coalition confirm the Howell family met with Governor Stitt and his team yesterday to discuss the Pardon and Parole Board’s recommendation of clemency for Julius Jones, who was convicted of murdering Paul Howell and sentenced to death in 2002.

'If he is executed tomorrow, that's justice': Victim supporters in Julius Jones case say
by Lily Cummings, KTUL Staff
Thursday, November 18th 2021
TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) —
This could be the last night Julius Jones sits on death row.
Governor Kevin Stitt is expected to weigh in on whether he will grant Jones clemency or proceed with his execution tomorrow.
The State Pardon and Parole Board has recommended clemency twice now.
The family of the man Jones is convicted of murdering in 1999 is speaking out.
Paul Howell was an Edmond businessman and father.
Paul Howell's daughter, Rachel, said Jones is guilty.
"He 100 percent did this. He murdered my father," Howell said.
Rachel Howell was young at the time but witnessed the entire thing.
"That's the main image that I remember is my dad's head falling," Howell said.
It's now been 22 years, but regardless of the outcome, it won't be the end for either the Jones or Howell families.
Jennifer Harmon, co-founder of Justice 4 Peggy, said she's in touch with the Howell family multiple times a day.
Harmon said Justice 4 Peggy is an organization founded after Peggy Gaytan was murdered in 2011 at a midtown convenience store.
"I can only imagine what Paul Howell's family is going through," Harmon said, "I mean we and the Gaytan family have just barely had a taste of it."
We asked if she believed the Howell family wants to see Jones executed.
"What they have conveyed is that if he is executed tomorrow that's justice," Harmon said.
Jones's family was denied their request to meet with the Governor.
"They got used. They got used by people who were just anti-death penalty," Harmon said, "People that say I know he's guilty but we need a martyr."
Gov. Stitt has met with both parties' attorneys and the Howell family.

On the night
of July 28th, 1999, Paul Howell was brutally murdered in front of his sister
and two young daughters as he pulled his Suburban into his parents’ driveway
after an evening of back-to-school shopping.
Julius Jones
walked up to the car and put the gun to Paul’s head, pulling the trigger.
As Paul’s sister was rushing the girls out of the car and towards the house,
Jones fired another shot before driving away in the Suburban. The
victim’s sister told police that the killer was wearing a red bandana, a white
shirt and a black stocking cap.
On July
31st, Julius Jones was arrested and charged with the murder of Paul Howell.
Police found a .25 caliber handgun (the murder weapon - confirmed by ballistics
testing) wrapped in a red bandana in the attic space above Jones’s bedroom
closet at his parents’ home. The magazine for the gun was in the doorbell
chime housing and .25 caliber ammunition was recoverd from Jones’ vehicle which
had been taken to a mechanic shop in the immediate days following the
murder. Jones also had a white T-shirt with black trim and a black
stocking cap in his bedroom.
Jones had a
history of criminal and violent activity leading up to the murder of Paul
Howell, including two other armed carjackings and attempted kidnapping. Jones
had also pled guilty, before the murder, to unlawful use of a fictitious name,
false declaration to a pawnbroker, concealing stolen property, and larceny from
a retailer.
Jones was
found guilty of the murder of Paul Howell in a court of law and convicted of
felony murder, possession of a firearm and conspiracy, and conspiracy to commit
a felony (armed robbery).
Julius Jones
has had his day in court, numerous times. His case has been granted reviews in
the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals (“OCCA”) 4 times. All told, because of
changes in the composition of the OCCA, a total of 13 appellate judges have
reviewed Jones’s conviction and sentence. For each appeal the OCCA found
“overwhelming” evidence of Jones’s guilt.
In 2017, DNA
testing of the red bandana found wrapped around the murder weapon in Jones’s
home further
incriminated Jones by testing positive for his DNA.

“What honors the victims of the crime, what helps the families, is to know that the public is informed. So if you are going to take a position that somebody is actually innocent, read the case transcripts before you just hop on a bandwagon because what you are really doing is dishonoring a victim of a crime. If you’re not familiar with the case, don’t advocate for something you know nothing about.” Thank you Jennifer Harmon for continuing to advocate for our family, and all families of violent crimes.
