Kim Kardashian’s death row visit energizes Julius Jones’ family and supporters

Kim kardashianDeath row inmate’s visit to Oklahoma hailed as a big boost to people already fighting for Julius Jones“freedom.

Kim drew a lot of attention to Julius’ case when she met him face to face in Oklahoma City … and we’re told his family is excited and his supporters energized.

The folks in the “Justice for Julius” campaign tell us that their website has increased tenfold and thousands of emails from all over the world are pouring into the site and in the Inbox of the Pardons and Parole Board. Oklahoma, calling for his sentence to be switched.

Jones, a black man, was only 19 when he was arrested for the shooting death of a 45-year-old white man named Paul Howell in 1999. Jones was convicted of first degree murder in 2002 and sentenced to death, but many people say the case was racially charged with little evidence linking him to the scene. Julius claims he was tricked and it was racial.

Julius filed a clemency petition last year and is waiting for the parole board to recommend that his sentence be commuted … a final decision is in the hands of the governor Kevin stitt.

Since the visit of Kim, the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns, we have been told, Baker mayfield, which has Julius ‘name on the back of his helmet all season and wears custom studs with Julius’ face on it, is fully on board the Julius team.

But, more than anything, we are told that Kim’s visit gave hope and energy to the people on the ground in Oklahoma who have worked tirelessly on the case.

Julius’ sister, Antoinette Jones, tells TMZ … Kim gave the family a sense of optimism to move forward, keeping his word to fight for Julius. Antoinette says Kim’s driving reminds her Robert Kardashian Sr.

It’s quite heartbreaking … Julius’ sister says he told Kim he was still broken that he couldn’t take him to the junior and senior prom because he was locked up, and he told Kim he wanted to get over his sister. She says Kim thinks that’s another reason Kim wants to fight for her freedom.

However, not everyone feels good about Kim’s visit.

Attorney General of Oklahoma Mike hunter called her for advocating on behalf of Jones, claiming that “all criticism surrounding his case has been refuted” and insulting “celebrity endorsements”.
