An African-American who was to be executed today in Oklahoma, for a murder of which he always said he was innocent, had his sentence commuted in extremis after the mobilization of millions of people in his favor, but will remain in prison until in his last days.
Republican Governor Kevin Stitt commuted the death sentence handed down in 2002 against Julius Jones to an irreducible sentence of life imprisonment, according to a decree published on the site of this conservative state in the south of the United States.
