TULSA, Oklahoma – 

Tulsa’s United Coalition of Clergy is urging Governor Kevin Stitt to grant Clemency for Julius Jones.

Jones is on death row for the 1999 murder of Edmond businessman Paul Howell.

The coalition is pushing for Stitt to meet with Jones’ family and follow the recommendation of the state’s Pardon and Parole Board to replace the death sentence with life with the possibility of parole.

Jones’ education is set for Nov. 18.
