Two families will make their case before Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt decides the fate of convicted killer Julius Jones. The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board voted this week to recommend that Jones' sentence be reduced from death to life in prison for the 1999 murder of Edmond businessman Paul Howell. Howell's brother Brian Howell says they were displeased with the recommendation to commute Jones' death sentence and they plan to meet with the governor. Jones's defense team also hopes to meet with Governor Stitt.
