Julius Jones
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt commuted Jones' death sentence to life without parole, a partial adoption of recommendations from the state's Pardon and Parole Board.
The state’s Pardon and Parole Board twice voted in favor of granting clemency to Jones, who has long maintained his innocence.
Oklahoma already botched one execution last month and plans to proceed with more despite ongoing litigation over the lethal injection process.
Previously, Jones made all his players stand for the anthem, but says "That was then ... This is now.”
