'All I can say to Governor Stitt is, I pray that you're listening to a few of the board members that you appointed,' the sister of Julius Jones said after the death row inmate was recommended to have his sentence commuted.
"That you know that they've made the right decision and that you look at all evidence, and that you rule in favor of Julius. Julius will not let you down upon his release."
Jones, 41, was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1999 killing of businessman Paul Howell, but he has always maintained his innocence and claims he was framed. His case has attracted widespread attention in recent years, thanks to a grassroots campaign, a documentary series that explored his innocence claim and celebrity advocates includingCece Jones-Davis, who directs the Justice for Julius Jones campaign, said she is also hopeful Stitt will step in and stop Jones' execution.
Antoinette Jones also said capital punishment should not be carried out when there are doubts about the guilt of some who have been put to death.
