Will Rachel Howell Attend Julius Jones Execution?
Regarding Rachel Howell’s attendance at the execution of Julius Jones, she probably will participate. The event is at 4 pm local time (2200 GMT) on 18 November at the state penitentiary in McAlester.
Rachel did say that she was scared of the man who shot her father to death. So, there is a possibility that she won’t attend.
Jones brutally murdered Paul on 28 July 1999. The incident happened as Paul, his sister, and two daughters were returning from a shopping trip in a car.
Edmonton Police pinned Jones and Christopher Jordan as the alleged carjacking murderers after interviewing three suspects. Although there wasn’t concrete evidence connecting Jones to the murder, he got a death sentence and 40 years of imprisonment in 2002.
Jordan, the state witness, found himself a prison sentence worth 30 years, but reports say that he got out only serving half.
The convict claims innocence. There is a petition on Change.org which has collected over 6.5 million signatures. In October 2019, Jones filed for clemency as the final resort for avoiding the death penalty.
