First time I've ever seen somebody take a completely neutral, unbiased approach to this case. This was presented incredibly well, JTL. Thanks for sharing with us. Keep up the amazing work, good sir.
This is the BEST crime story presenter I have ever come across. Wow. I binged on all these stories all weekend. Thanks 🙏 man. Your voice and demeanor are above competition.
Victim's daughter is right about celebrities taking activitist presentations should be researched 1st before assuming via media or from another friend celebrities.
Exactly. I don’t know how they readily believe his innocence when they clearly know nothing about the evidence. They’re just uninformed individuals with a platform
@@mterri6exactly. I never understand some people who just talk SMH. These are celebrities with money. It's not like thru just go through court files and get involved. Good lawd people.
The narrative smh..... I don't believe anything celebrities say. Why would they care? All the blood sacrifices they're are involved in. Please give me a break 😒
I've been BINGING THE Entirety of your catalog. Unbelievable effort put in and your personality seals the deal. Neutral, unbiased and informative. Amazing work
I think he’s guilty. Why did his girlfriend testify for the prosecution? His spaghetti dinner alibi was his family’s attempt to save their son. Justice for Paul Howell and his family. Whether he was the shooter or not, I believe he was involved.
There’s plenty cases where girlfriends and even family members testify on prosecution because of being threatened by the detectives. As simple as confusing and tripping the girlfriend up in her own words after ten hours of exhausting interrogation- you may be willing to sign and say ANYTHING just to GO home and figure you will have it resolved by a lawyer later- not understanding it’s never that easy. A detective threatening that you yourself will see jail time for perjury (for something so small and trivial) but definitely possible- and depending on your situation - say you are sole caregiver for your sick father or primary child care for your siblings or other family- the risk of jail time outweighs your loyalty when you are boiled down to two choices of bad or worse. And to never have engaged with police before- not knowing your rights takes on a whole series of likelihood for the police to get from you EXACTLY what they WANT out of you.
I just don't think the death penalty should be used when there is clearly reasonable doubt. The people who want to throw a conservative tantrum about 'celebrities' are pretending the evidence is far less contentious than it is.
@@rockyrox4591 as a guy who's done 3 prison sentences and also been wrongfully arrested. What you've just said dosnt happen. She terrified because she told the truth. He's as guilty as sin.
This is such a great channel Kevin, you do such a great job, great production value, calm soothing voice, respect and empathy for all, balanced, excellent work.
Im not very surprised to find that these public personas are blowing smoke up everyone’s asse. Disgusting that they do it in public when the victim’s family is still suffering.
I just started watching your videos maybe a week ago. I gotta tell ya I am soooooo impressed with the amount of research and detail you put into your videos. And I also like the fact that you present your videos with a lot of actual photos and video . you don't just talk about them.
Chris Jordan spent the night at the Jones, which they all thought was odd since he had never done that before. He stayed in the room where the gun was found in a crawl space in the closet. The next day he told the police exactly where the gun was.
Cruelty is very light word to describe those who will make two little girls lose their wonderful daughter just so they can steal the car. How these "celebrities" have the heart to defend him even if he wasn't tye one who pulled the trigger. I mean shouldn't they be working for the victims? Shouldn't their efforts be towards ending crimes???
Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. Just like you came to the conclusion that he's guilty no matter what, other ppl are opposed. That's life. The facts are the facts
@@dqdq4083 if he's NOT guilty of murder then he surely should not be put to death and that's the point. And if he only stole a vehicle then he shouldn't even be in prison FOR LIFE. That's absurd.
You are seriously such a talent in the true crime community. Very professional & thorough. I look forward to the growth your channel will have. Thank you.
I completely agree! But a ton of people do care, millions of people, so I wish more celebrities used their status and privilege to do some good in the world. And no, I'm definitely NOT saying that I wish more celebrities were like Kim Kardashian!
They are literally puppets on a string 🤡 & the super fake personalities annoy the heck out of me! I always see right through those fake personalities many celebrities have
Either way, he was a part of a robbery that resulted in someone’s death so he deserves to be in prison. These celebrities are not qualified to even speak on this. They should go back to acting etc
Totally agree, one of them did it and they where all there. As for celebrities, most of them are virtual signalling and have no idea of any of the facts.
You don't suspect that young entrepreneur went from stealing a suburban, putting a .25 in Paul's head , then to have spaghetti dinner and monopoly night with his family?
When all the usual social arsonists and race mongering celebrities are involved in massive media propaganda campaigns like this, they're not fighting for justice. They're stirring social upheaval.
Not sure why people have picked this case to be outraged about. The case against Julius is relatively strong and there are literally hundreds of cases where the convicted individual is very obviously innocent. Julius has a much stronger case for ineffective counsel rather than innocence.
Yeah for sure! I can't remember the case,I just learned of it on this channel yesterday, but after a couple decades in prison he gets an appeal and the judge says yeah it seems you're innocent....buuuuutt we can't let you out. That is a tragedy and failure. America truly destroyed this man, robbed him of his freedom, his trail was even stolen from him (he didn't receive a fair unbiased trial,his attorney didn't even present a case, and witnesses and alibi's we're bought and paid for) He was taken from his family and country, basically kidnapped and held hostage for decades....Finally he receives a miracle in the form of a S class attorney and judge /jury that hadn't been bought or intimidated..it was proven he was guilty only for that door be slammed in his face because some ancient document written hundreds of years ago that we don't question (even though it was written before electricity was discovered and by colonists that had just revolted and taken power of a country frustrated with a unfair government imposing ridiculous and outdated laws...sounds familiar..oh yeah those people still had slaves while screaming for freedom...witches were thing too lol) Apparently it isn't stated anywhere that innocence is a reason you can be released early from prison...WTF?!MAYBE FIND A LOOP HOLE THAT BENEFITS HIM or you know maybe write some new shit for the times we now live in. I'm sorry that was long and probably sounds like a crazy person wrote it. It's my worst nightmare, going away for a crime I didn't commit and should be avoidable by now. Also, I'm not an expert and definitely not qualified to give legal advice but I'm qualified to call bullshit and raise hell!!!it was a case with a guy from Trinidad, but lives in England, on a business trip to Miami and was framed by the cartel for a murder of two Asian men that had been stealing from them. Question Everything and Trust Nothing.
I was going to let you keep guessing but I'll just come out and say it.... He's black. That's literally the ONLY reason. Look at what happened anytime a black man commits a crime like this. Everyone stands up, goes on camera and tells everyone about what a wonderful person he was. The media and BLM completely ignore ANY evidence and deny reality just so they can tell us, it was someone else's fault.
Cuz he’s black and is on death row and his name is catchy /- that’s all it takes these days for celebrities to decide someone is innocent and only being prosecuted because the system is racist
These celebrities make me sick. Let there father or son get shot down in cold blood in front of his kids and then let's see how hard they fight to set murderers free. Just sickening I can't imagine how hard it would be on this man's family having all these people advocating for the man that killed there father and family members like he is a saint.
I’m a big fan of true crime. I like to read books, watch trials , and listen to podcasts. Someone mentioned this channel and I checked it out. WOW! Best I’ve seen & heard!!!! Bingeing now, absolutely love it!!!
Very interesting story, well documented and clearly explained... I have no opinion about Mr Jones being or not the murderer, but I am always sad that the victim and his family, as it happens too often, are not heard and dont get the recognition they deserves as victims... we live in a world where victims are too often forgotten and all the attention is focus on the culprits and their lawyers... it's very unfair and sad Thank you for this excellent video!!! ... I really appreciate the way you explain, your unbiased approach and no judgement from you... Respect
I respect your opinion. I do pray the correct person is in prison & my heart breaks for the innocent man's family. I have no dog in this race so I'm not gonna bad mouth noone. Respect...
Kim and the entire Kardashian family are 100% practicing witches (as in EVIL witchcraft). The fact that she is defending this man tells me all I need to know about him.
You had me at Viola Davis, absolute goddess (Apologies, distracted.) On a relevant note, I wonder what these celebrities and athletes would say/do if it was one of their family members / a loved one that was killed? Curious.
Celebrities are so stupid. And they'll never apologize for what they did. Imagine how the family of the victim felt after seeing the tonight show and all those celebrities saying Julius is innocent.
In my opinion, there appears to be far more credible evidence of his guilt than of his innocence. Celebrities who use their influence to jump on these bandwagons without doing their due diligence should be held accountable for spreading misinformation, causing victim’s loved ones even more undue pain and suffering, and costing taxpayers even more money in the pursuit of justice.
Dear Tammy: You are NOT At All a Good American if you don't understand that these Celebrities are just exercising their First Amendment rights doing all that you point out. THAT does Not Mean, however, that I accept the UNLIMITED Freedom of Speech provided by the First Amendment. Constitutional Convention, anyone ??? Then how about another Civil War ???
As a cop I can’t tell you how many moms I’ve had look in my eyes and tell me how their son was just a good boy that never hurt anyone and would never be involved in the crime that he was just caught red handed committing… I don’t believe moms defending their kids AT ALL.
My son is a sociopath. There were times when I actually witnessed him do something wrong and I called him on it. HE WOULD NEVER EVER ADMIT TO IT and would swear that I had not seen him do anything. When he was 19, the police showed up at my door and were going to arrest him for drug possession. They started complaining to me about him. I said “Do your job!” They were horrified that I didn’t stand up for him. I repeated “Do your job.” They took a dislike to me and threw his drugs on the ground and squished them into the ground with a foot, then let him go. He is 51 now and we haven’t spoken for decades. I doubt he has ever been held accountable for anything.
I sometimes feel bad when I watch these shows. I am a mom, wife, employee, daughter etc. that believes and lives- you stand up for what you did. You do not lie about anything. You take the consequence for your actions and decisions. Example: If you studied hard for a test- consequence is an A. If not, consequence is less and maybe failure. Taking it to the next level- if you harmed someone, admit and take the consequence. I will not take part in any fabrication. That being said, I have three successful, grown children. But I’d never back them in a lie and they knew it. Not even to save their hide. Don’t do or say anything you’re not willing to take the consequence for. I’ve seen parents do this for their children and they are robbing them from a successful future and rewarding life.
As a mother that hurts. I brought up both my sons to tell the truth. When they made mistakes, do their best to make it right. My kids grew up in poverty, I am a single mom, but when my son was 17 his Dad found him an old car, and fixed it up. Problem was I didn't have money to give him for gas and he didn't have a job yet. So he foolishly gassed up his car, and took off without paying. He came home later that night , having a panic attack, and broke down in tears, I asked what was wrong? He spilled the whole thing to me. Upon retrospect, he knew his car was pretty identifiable being an older model, and he felt guilty for stealing it, it was an impulse decision. I told him there was only one thing to do, go to the police and tell the truth. So the next day that's what we did. I realize this situation in no way compares to this awful event. I also realize parents can be fooled or mistaken, we aren't perfect. He ended up with a fine and community service and never broke the law again. And my son wasn't a straight looking football player, he was into that goth stuff at the time, I distinctly remember his hair was green and he had a horrible mohawk. But that didn't make the policeman we went to look down on him , surprisingly. To be honest he looked a little scary, all dressed in black. But they treated him fairly. But would they all have? Let me tell you the problem I have with some policemen, they aren't perfect either. After watching so many of these shows, I see how manipulative they can be, how frightening they can be; and how they are allowed to lie to their suspects. So a double standard there don't you think? I bring my kid up to tell the truth, but the people supposed to keep law and order are legally allowed to lie! You know what I would tell my child now if he was charged with a serious offence? Keep your mouth shut and get a lawyer. It breaks my heart. I do believe in morals, my sons are moral individuals. I would not encourage them to lie nor lie myself, but I would now recommend staying silent if they were accused of anything serious. ( and my feelings on lawyers.... ugh don't even get me started!) Honestly I am so thankful for policeman, its a tough job, that's underpaid, taxing mentally, physically and emotionally. I respect them in general, they have come to my aid so many times. Thank you for being there when my car broke down at 2 am in a bad part of town, and making sure I got home safely! Thank you for being there when my ex was drunk ,threatening me. I just believe that they should be held to the same standard that we SHOULD hold ourselves and our children to. Don't lie, Don't steal, Don't ever hurt anyone., and respect authority figures and work hard, Sadly, if I had seen all that you had, I probably wouldn't believe moms either. But, there are some of us that you could believe. I guess the trick is learning to tell the difference, Which is an impossibility.... I have gotten much better at it as a human , but I am old and it took me a long time. There are good and bad people on both sides. Thank you for your service to the community.
Julius really did sound like a good kid, at least he sure had a lot going for him. Good famiily. Student-athelete. But then what's this about stealing Suburbans? Were they wannabe gangbangers? I suspect the other guy, not Julius, was the actual shooter.
Remember the name Paul Howell. RIP sir. Your hometown still thinks about you and will not let your name be forgotten. Rot in hell Julius Jones. (Edit) And really good video. Very thorough and well researched. I’ve done my own research, and don’t think there’s much doubt of his guilt. That’s just my opinion..
Agreed. There's plenty of evidence showing he's guilty and zero, after the fact "evidence", showing it wasn't him after all. His family giving him an alibi After his conviction, was completely destroyed by his family friends & girlfriend who confirmed that Alibi was for the night before the cold blooded murder not the night of. The "it's not my bandanna" theory destroyed by DNA evidence. Like literally every excuse which has been come up with, has been investigated and determined to be a lie. He should really be honest with his family and supporters about his actions that night he killed an innocent father in order to steal his vehicle, but it seems he just loves all the attention he's getting and the control over he has over his family members outside of the prison walls. I hope he comes clean for their sake, so they can move on with their lives, and for his own eternity's sake.
So the family is obviously lying based off the recorded interviews AND the receipts. The only real "evidence" he didn't do it is just totally honest inmates saying the possible accomplice fired the shots but he was still there committing the crime. That's still murder in every state. You do a felony and someone dies you can be charged if you took part even if you were the get away driver.
Absolutely the family is out and out lying, trying to get him off, they raised this murderer, obviously didn't teach him to value human life and then lie to get him off when he kills, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
I simply can not decide if he is guilty or not and most definitely do not wish to speculate. I feel extreme sorrow for Paul and his family, this whole into case is a clusterfuck. Thank you Kevin for yet another fantastic case. R.I.P Paul 🕊
In general I always try to speculate, and use the evidence available to predict the most likely outcome. But I will never use absolutes and will try to apply a probability.
You're right Courtney, it's a mess! A botched investigation, terrible representation and then a racist juror! The family has the right to true justice for their loss.
Jones was riding Paul Howell's car. The gun that was used to murder Howell was found in Julius Jones home. A white shirt and red bandana was also found in Julius's home. He did it! I HATE CELEBS THAT GET IN THE WAY OF JUSTICE.
I don't think the high profile celebs had much influence in Oklahoma. Perhaps they did on their anti-death penalty. Even the pro-life Church favors abolition of death penalty. In Julius Jones case, it sounds like his socalled frieds sold him out. Jones' 1st big mistake was choosing friends whose thing was stealing Suburbans.
Even guilty people deserve a fair trial. This case was a mess from start to finish. The victim’s family ultimately pay the price. I’m not sue of his guilt or innocence but he does deserve a fair trial.
The evidence still looks very strong that he's guilty, i'll concede that he wasn't offered the best defense, even if they retried it I think they're going to find him guilty. So his friends are pointing him out, he's sending threatening letters to his girlfriend. He went there to take that guy's car, with a gun. There are times when people are falsely accused or convicted on shallow evidence, this is not one of them. I'm curious to why the celebrities never rush out to advocate for the victims? I really don't know what witnesses they could have called for his legal team, they could have brought people in talking about his good grades and his scholarship, but that doesn't mean you can't be a killer.
The system failed me and my family miserably, so this case doesn't surprise me in the least. The people in hollyweird are so out of touch. All they do is meddle and destroy.
Just because "celebrities" say something doesn't mean Americans believe them. We were told by the same "celebrities" to vote for clinton in 2016, how'd that work out? What a stupid thing to say, where do you live?
Not sure if you know that Kim is actually a lawyer (her father is one of the most successful and famous lawyers of all time as well). She has a substantial background in false convictions. She's a smart woman with a relevant background. Pick someone else to use as a symbol of vapidness. (I'm not even a fan, have never consumed her primary media content, never bought anything sold by her family, etc.)
I wish most of all that there wasn't a decision among these young men to carjack someone that night or any day/night. I believe that Mr. Jones had a level of involvement and that the night he was recounting spending with his family was indeed the night prior to the incident. However, I am not sure he pulled the trigger and for that level of doubt being presented I agree with the decision to commute his death sentence. R.I.P. Paul Howell cause he is truly the victim and his life was taken too early and for an unjustifiable reason!
The problem with that is as his family acknowledges, and despite the "not allowed to apply for release" clause, he will apply, he will get out and far sooner than most expect - wait and see, it happens all the time.
He was a willing participant in a carjacking where a gun was present and a man was murdered - every one of them should get the needle. I love how people somehow feel uncomfortable giving a death sentence if there is any “doubt” but don’t mind locking someone up for the rest of their life. If ur sure enough to take a man’s freedom for the rest of his life then he deserves the needle for first degree murder - if not, then he shouldn’t be convicted in the first place.
It was Ladell King that was seen with Christopher Jordan that day. Chris Jordan told a witness, Eckie Prater, that they were out scoping out Suburbans. Ladell King was a convicted felon and a police snitch. He also was one of the first to implicate Jones. He even gave the police his address and phone number.
Celebrities don’t ever stand up for someone because they honestly believe in that person. They don’t even take the time to understand the facts. They just want the flash of the camera. Oh, and the evidence of his innocence was not overwhelming.
There was a lot of evidence against him. How would someone, other than Julius, plant the gun in the attic? Also, plant the black stocking and the ammunition in his car, that was at the garage being fixed? Julius was not innocent
At the end of this video, I still do not know what Jones' role, if any, was in this case. What I now know is that he did not receive an adequate defense at the trial. As has happened in other cases, his conviction should be set aside and he should be granted a new trial. As the chair of the pardon and parole board said, people should not be executed if there are doubts and there are doubts here. I hate when people get attached to one position and are unwilling to look with fresh eyes. Paul Howell is not forgotten here. It is very important that the person who killed him is held accountable and that the circumstances of his death are clearly explained.
I 100% agree with this comment ! No one should be put the death when there are doubts! People are acting like there was indeed a smoking gun! I was so confused! The sister’s description had me confused. The fact that the friend spent the night and could have very well planted the gun, had me confused, the different different dna on both the gun and bandanna…this was hard. There is no way I could have voted guilty as a juror. The evidence alone was shakey!
Thanks Sandey! I think you'll find that we've fixed the audio issues in our latest videos...those earlier ones had a couple hiccups as we were still learning 😀
After watching n falling asleep to forensic files every night for the last 3-4 years i finally found my new channel... Your voice abd story telling skills are awesome dude... Got my mom listening to you too lol
Oh yes, the profound wisdom of Kim Kardashian and her fantasy thinking friends. Because they all know so much about criminal forensics, psychology, and law..🙄
All of these celebrities look so stupid! There are so many people who have had real injustices done to them, I know, I am one of them. It makes me sick to see all these people rallying together to defend someone who is so clearly guilty! Why not use your power and influence to help those who DESERVE IT!!!! This just makes me sick.
To me it’s weird that at his clemency hearing he’s reading from a paper the events of that night. A prepared statement? Why would you need that to tell what it is that you personally did or didnt do?
From what I know it does appear as though he is guilty of this crime though I absolutely agree with the person who said he didn't receive a fair trial. At the very least, he should have had an experienced attorney representing him. In all of the true crime I've researched over the years, I'm not sure that I have ever come across a case where an attorney who has never tried a murder/death penalty case has been assigned as head of defense legal team. In fact, in cases where the defendant has hired their own counsel, judges usually won't even allow them to retain inexperienced attorneys and if they want to keep that particular attorney, they have to add and work with one who has experience in capital murder cases (or whatever type of murder cases/possible sentence the case is).
I haven’t seen anything that qualifies as ineffective counsel tho regardless of how much experience his attorney had. The celebrities saying there is “overwhelming” evidence of his innocence are lying. The dude is clearly guilty.
Justice isn't just convicting someone. It's about convicting the right someone. It's clear that there's sufficient conflicting evidence creating reasonable doubt, and for that reason alone, he should be given a new trial or have his sentence reduced to live with an opportunity for parole.
Is this a joke? Jailhouse snitches and family alibis? And the gun was planted -- Above the ceiling of the closet? And the magazine behind a doorbell? Sure, Jan
You can split hairs all you want but at the end of the day, guilty or not, he was not given a fair trial, nor was he given a vigorous defense and representation. Death sentence cases must be the most rigorously reviewed cases in the so-called criminal justice system. You don’t make deals with criminals or give the defendant an over worked PD to defend them. No matter your position on an individual you ought to support the equal protection and application of the law to all. If one injury and injustice is allowed to occur, then we’re all equally responsible. When an individual is executed the manner of death is listed as homicide and the sentence is carried out by the state. The state is you, me, and every other citizen.
These celebrities 🤣🤣.. I still remember when the Jussie Smollett alleged “hate crime” surfaced, every celebrities couldn’t wait to come out to condemn Trump supporters (I’m not a trump supporter, I think that dude is a freaking clown), but when the truth came out, those same celebrities didn’t say a damn thing 🤣🤣
Might have been a bit more eager to jump at Trump seeing as how he so strongly sought to condemn the Central Park Five and spent years trying to have innocent men convicted and put to death based on nothing more than his own hatred and ignorance. Hate begets hate. However, I did see several people walk back their statements when the truth came out about Smollett. Literally HUNDREDS of articles, interviews and statements.... But never once a word from Trump after he sought to have 5 innocent men killed. (In only ONE of many instances throughout his life where he demonstrated more of the same.) Perhaps if you follow a wider variety of sources you would also have seen the many people who did speak up about Smollett, many condemning him while also acknowledging their own wrongness. It wasn't blowing up the airwaves, but many celebrities DO use their voice to speak out and WILL right their wrongs.
I remember a guy called Aaron Hernandez, he was a stand up guy with a record of being a good man. Well, he turned out to be a no good person after it was proven how he committed murder.
Even in the most favorable light, Jones was an accomplice to the murder. Under the law all involved in a murder are guilty of the murder, regardless as to who pulled the trigger. The only injustice here is that Jones accomplice only got 15 years.
I suppose there’s too much information to condense into a short video. I just don’t see the overwhelming evidence that this sort of publicity seems to imply.
Well put, I’ve said on this video but I’ve done my own research about this and don’t think there’s much doubt about his crime. Meagen, his sister, has been called a liar and horrible things. She’s a great woman and a great mom to her kids. RIP Paul Howell.
Before jumping on a bandwagon and getting involved in advocacy, people need to look critically and deeply at these cases and not just accept what a celebrity tells them at face value. Access public records, read trial transcripts and appellate decisions where possible before being part of something that causes the victim’s family further pain. People need to understand as well that there’s a difference between journalism and advocacy journalism, and calling something a “documentary” does not mean it is 100% factual or accurate. On first blush, I assumed the West Memphis 3, Steven Avery and Sam Shepherd were all innocent because that’s the narrative of choice in the popular media, but upon researching them for a podcast project I had to conclude that they’re all in fact guilty, even if there were procedural problems with their trials.
I hate the fact that these celebrities use their power and money to meddle in things they have no real clue about, believing what they are spoonfed and are deluded into thinking they are somehow helping humanity. Their profession is such a vain one and their egos so big that they just seem to like the idea that they can manipulate justice. Julius Jones is guilty as hell. The fact that they do this in the face of the victim's family just enrages me and makes me feel so sorry for Paul Howell's family.
It doesn’t seem like he received a fair trial considering his attorney was not even a licensed attorney when he was representing the defendant. I think the evidence points more towards guilt. But a retrial seems appropriate
What else is there to speculate about? He is guilty! You don’t have that type of evidence against someone and they be innocent. Make no sense. He is a killer! Make no mistake. Case closed! Peace.
@reignman30 oh no, I don't think his family members were credible either. There didn't seem to be any reasonable doubt. All this stuff seems to come up after he was convicted.

@JustThoughtLounge glad the channel exists bud.
I think he’s guilty. Why did his girlfriend testify for the prosecution? His spaghetti dinner alibi was his family’s attempt to save their son. Justice for Paul Howell and his family. Whether he was the shooter or not, I believe he was involved.
There’s plenty cases where girlfriends and even family members testify on prosecution because of being threatened by the detectives.
As simple as confusing and tripping the girlfriend up in her own words after ten hours of exhausting interrogation- you may be willing to sign and say ANYTHING just to GO home and figure you will have it resolved by a lawyer later- not understanding it’s never that easy. A detective threatening that you yourself will see jail time for perjury (for something so small and trivial) but definitely possible- and depending on your situation - say you are sole caregiver for your sick father or primary child care for your siblings or other family- the risk of jail time outweighs your loyalty when you are boiled down to two choices of bad or worse.
And to never have engaged with police before- not knowing your rights takes on a whole series of likelihood for the police to get from you EXACTLY what they WANT out of you.
I just don't think the death penalty should be used when there is clearly reasonable doubt. The people who want to throw a conservative tantrum about 'celebrities' are pretending the evidence is far less contentious than it is.

It would be nice if they would shut up
Agree
Yes the family is still suffering and they have the right to know who the real killer was. He was released from prison 7 years ago.
I just started watching your videos maybe a week ago. I gotta tell ya I am soooooo impressed with the amount of research and detail you put into your videos. And I also like the fact that you present your videos with a lot of actual photos and video . you don't just talk about them.
Thanks TS! We do put a lot of effort in, so appreciate that it’s coming through 👍🏻
I would say....... Having the murder weapon in your house is pretty much the nail in the coffin.
Sean Absolutely.
He could have had it for the older dude like are all this dense. They probably told him to hold all that shit because he was the GREEN ONE DUHHHHHH
Chris Jordan spent the night at the Jones, which they all thought was odd since he had never done that before. He stayed in the room where the gun was found in a crawl space in the closet. The next day he told the police exactly where the gun was.
@@mterri6when did they say that? That was never said tho
Yeah but the Systemic Structural Institutions of White Supremacy planted the murder weapon in his bedroom.
Cruelty is very light word to describe those who will make two little girls lose their wonderful daughter just so they can steal the car. How these "celebrities" have the heart to defend him even if he wasn't tye one who pulled the trigger. I mean shouldn't they be working for the victims? Shouldn't their efforts be towards ending crimes???
Exactly, Jones may not have been the shooter but that doesn't excuse him from being involved...these celmake me sick.
Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. Just like you came to the conclusion that he's guilty no matter what, other ppl are opposed. That's life. The facts are the facts
@@juliannakirksey9065No, he is guilty, maybe not of murder but of car theft which is evil
@@dqdq4083 if he's NOT guilty of murder then he surely should not be put to death and that's the point. And if he only stole a vehicle then he shouldn't even be in prison FOR LIFE. That's absurd.
You are seriously such a talent in the true crime community. Very professional & thorough. I look forward to the growth your channel will have. Thank you.
Thanks Rachel!
The day I care what celebrities think is the day hell freezes over.
💯💯🎯
I don't think the high profile celebs had much influence in Oklahoma. In California, yeah. But not the heartland states.
Including news casters
I completely agree!
But a ton of people do care, millions of people, so I wish more celebrities used their status and privilege to do some good in the world.
And no, I'm definitely NOT saying that I wish more celebrities were like Kim Kardashian!
They didn't do good they reduced a murderers sentence, that's evil and I hope karma comes for them
As soon as I saw that celebrities were involved I decided I can’t watch this. Sorry. but I’m just so sick of them.
Well it turns out politicians agree with them
me too, i just don't view them as real people
Same here.
They are literally puppets on a string 🤡 & the super fake personalities annoy the heck out of me! I always see right through those fake personalities many celebrities have
@@imranxalamin Trump is a celebrity!! 👀
Either way, he was a part of a robbery that resulted in someone’s death so he deserves to be in prison. These celebrities are not qualified to even speak on this. They should go back to acting etc
Totally agree, one of them did it and they where all there. As for celebrities, most of them are virtual signalling and have no idea of any of the facts.
Lord
Kevin... I need you to understand ... I'm about to watch every single one of your video. You are amazing !!!
I’ll need a top 3 list from you after you’re done 🙂
You're not alone! My OCD had me starting @ the very first vid in 2024!
GREAT narration!

It always amazes me how people run with something without taking 15 seconds to fact check something.
Fact check is total bs nowa days..Best to turn everything off and enjoy life
So many examples of this esp in todays celebrity adoration frenzy!
You don't suspect that young entrepreneur went from stealing a suburban, putting a .25 in Paul's head , then to have spaghetti dinner and monopoly night with his family?
Police do it all the time.

When all the usual social arsonists and race mongering celebrities are involved in massive media propaganda campaigns like this, they're not fighting for justice. They're stirring social upheaval.
Not sure why people have picked this case to be outraged about. The case against Julius is relatively strong and there are literally hundreds of cases where the convicted individual is very obviously innocent. Julius has a much stronger case for ineffective counsel rather than innocence.
His council wasn't innefective either, it's hard to defend someone who is obviously guilty and tells you he is lying about his alibi
Yeah for sure! I can't remember the case,I just learned of it on this channel yesterday, but after a couple decades in prison he gets an appeal and the judge says yeah it seems you're innocent....buuuuutt we can't let you out. That is a tragedy and failure. America truly destroyed this man, robbed him of his freedom, his trail was even stolen from him (he didn't receive a fair unbiased trial,his attorney didn't even present a case, and witnesses and alibi's we're bought and paid for) He was taken from his family and country, basically kidnapped and held hostage for decades....Finally he receives a miracle in the form of a S class attorney and judge /jury that hadn't been bought or intimidated..it was proven he was guilty only for that door be slammed in his face because some ancient document written hundreds of years ago that we don't question (even though it was written before electricity was discovered and by colonists that had just revolted and taken power of a country frustrated with a unfair government imposing ridiculous and outdated laws...sounds familiar..oh yeah those people still had slaves while screaming for freedom...witches were thing too lol) Apparently it isn't stated anywhere that innocence is a reason you can be released early from prison...WTF?!MAYBE FIND A LOOP HOLE THAT BENEFITS HIM or you know maybe write some new shit for the times we now live in.
I'm sorry that was long and probably sounds like a crazy person wrote it. It's my worst nightmare, going away for a crime I didn't commit and should be avoidable by now. Also, I'm not an expert and definitely not qualified to give legal advice but I'm qualified to call bullshit and raise hell!!!it was a case with a guy from Trinidad, but lives in England, on a business trip to Miami and was framed by the cartel for a murder of two Asian men that had been stealing from them. Question Everything and Trust Nothing.
I was going to let you keep guessing but I'll just come out and say it.... He's black. That's literally the ONLY reason. Look at what happened anytime a black man commits a crime like this. Everyone stands up, goes on camera and tells everyone about what a wonderful person he was. The media and BLM completely ignore ANY evidence and deny reality just so they can tell us, it was someone else's fault.
@@ryanturner3432 Nice try, but whiff.
Cuz he’s black and is on death row and his name is catchy /- that’s all it takes these days for celebrities to decide someone is innocent and only being prosecuted because the system is racist
Kevin, thank you for this excellent presentation. Your work goes from strength to strength and needs a much bigger audience.
These celebrities make me sick. Let there father or son get shot down in cold blood in front of his kids and then let's see how hard they fight to set murderers free. Just sickening I can't imagine how hard it would be on this man's family having all these people advocating for the man that killed there father and family members like he is a saint.
Exactly... 😖
I’m a big fan of true crime. I like to read books, watch trials , and listen to podcasts. Someone mentioned this channel and I checked it out. WOW! Best I’ve seen & heard!!!! Bingeing now, absolutely love it!!!
Hell Yea, I am overwhelmingly grateful to see you take a good, deep look at this case.
Thank you for making a great video about this! I am an Oklahoman and obviously this is a huge story here. You did it justice! Much love to you! 💗💗💗
Please keep posting videos. I enjoy how you put it all together.
I just became a fan yesterday great channel sir. Appreciate your research, knowledge, education
Very interesting story, well documented and clearly explained... I have no opinion about Mr Jones being or not the murderer, but I am always sad that the victim and his family, as it happens too often, are not heard and dont get the recognition they deserves as victims... we live in a world where victims are too often forgotten and all the attention is focus on the culprits and their lawyers... it's very unfair and sad
Thank you for this excellent video!!! ... I really appreciate the way you explain, your unbiased approach and no judgement from you... Respect
Thank you so much Agnes!
I respect your opinion. I do pray the correct person is in prison & my heart breaks for the innocent man's family. I have no dog in this race so I'm not gonna bad mouth noone. Respect...

I hate celebrities that go around running their mouths over issues, as if they are experts!

When Kim Kardashian says they’re innocent…they’re 100% guilty. That threatening letter to his girlfriend is all you need.
Agreed.
Totally agree.
Kim Kardashian for Supreme Court. Our world today 😢😮😢
Exactly anyone who willingly married Kanye has bad judgment 😂
Kim and the entire Kardashian family are 100% practicing witches (as in EVIL witchcraft). The fact that she is defending this man tells me all I need to know about him.
This was a great watch. Very professional and well done!
You had me at Viola Davis, absolute goddess (Apologies, distracted.) On a relevant note, I wonder what these celebrities and athletes would say/do if it was one of their family members / a loved one that was killed? Curious.
Agreed.
Viola Davis thinks hes innocent though. He is not.
Exactly!!
This was either a TOTALLY CRAZY UNBELIEVABLE conspiracy against a perfect angel of a person named Julius, or he did it.
He dinduit
He did it.
@@christinamoran1027 Yes he did. Without a doubt.
He did it
He was only a baba eating a family meal & playing board games.... Yeah fcking rite! Hes 19 & owns a gun?
Thank you for reporting stories. You voice is very calming .I am an absolute buff when it comes to crime stories.
Yeah his story is total bullshet. There is OVERWHELMING evidence of his guilt.
This another case of people try to change the facts years later.
the quality of your vids is amazing, you’ll hit 1m in no time
These videos are the best true crime vids on UA-cam
Celebrities are so stupid. And they'll never apologize for what they did. Imagine how the family of the victim felt after seeing the tonight show and all those celebrities saying Julius is innocent.
When it was p Diddy they weren't talking
In my opinion, there appears to be far more credible evidence of his guilt than of his innocence. Celebrities who use their influence to jump on these bandwagons without doing their due diligence should be held accountable for spreading misinformation, causing victim’s loved ones even more undue pain and suffering, and costing taxpayers even more money in the pursuit of justice.
Dear Tammy: You are NOT At All a Good American if you don't understand that these Celebrities are just exercising their First Amendment rights doing all that you point out. THAT does Not Mean, however, that I accept the UNLIMITED Freedom of Speech provided by the First Amendment. Constitutional Convention, anyone ??? Then how about another Civil War ???
@@JosephKulik2016 Just because you have the right to do something, doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.
@@TammyD123 Yes, exactly.
@@TammyD123 So very true.
@@TammyD123 Thank you. Smh hate how ppl can jus blindly follow others without information or facts to what or why they're following
As a cop I can’t tell you how many moms I’ve had look in my eyes and tell me how their son was just a good boy that never hurt anyone and would never be involved in the crime that he was just caught red handed committing… I don’t believe moms defending their kids AT ALL.
My son is a sociopath. There were times when I actually witnessed him do something wrong and I called him on it. HE WOULD NEVER EVER ADMIT TO IT and would swear that I had not seen him do anything. When he was 19, the police showed up at my door and were going to arrest him for drug possession. They started complaining to me about him. I said “Do your job!” They were horrified that I didn’t stand up for him. I repeated “Do your job.” They took a dislike to me and threw his drugs on the ground and squished them into the ground with a foot, then let him go. He is 51 now and we haven’t spoken for decades. I doubt he has ever been held accountable for anything.
I sometimes feel bad when I watch these shows. I am a mom, wife, employee, daughter etc. that believes and lives- you stand up for what you did. You do not lie about anything. You take the consequence for your actions and decisions. Example: If you studied hard for a test- consequence is an A. If not, consequence is less and maybe failure.
Taking it to the next level- if you harmed someone, admit and take the consequence. I will not take part in any fabrication.
That being said, I have three successful, grown children. But I’d never back them in a lie and they knew it. Not even to save their hide.
Don’t do or say anything you’re not willing to take the consequence for.
I’ve seen parents do this for their children and they are robbing them from a successful future and rewarding life.
As a mother that hurts. I brought up both my sons to tell the truth. When they made mistakes, do their best to make it right. My kids grew up in poverty, I am a single mom, but when my son was 17 his Dad found him an old car, and fixed it up. Problem was I didn't have money to give him for gas and he didn't have a job yet. So he foolishly gassed up his car, and took off without paying. He came home later that night , having a panic attack, and broke down in tears, I asked what was wrong? He spilled the whole thing to me. Upon retrospect, he knew his car was pretty identifiable being an older model, and he felt guilty for stealing it, it was an impulse decision. I told him there was only one thing to do, go to the police and tell the truth. So the next day that's what we did. I realize this situation in no way compares to this awful event. I also realize parents can be fooled or mistaken, we aren't perfect. He ended up with a fine and community service and never broke the law again. And my son wasn't a straight looking football player, he was into that goth stuff at the time, I distinctly remember his hair was green and he had a horrible mohawk. But that didn't make the policeman we went to look down on him , surprisingly. To be honest he looked a little scary, all dressed in black. But they treated him fairly. But would they all have?
Let me tell you the problem I have with some policemen, they aren't perfect either. After watching so many of these shows, I see how manipulative they can be, how frightening they can be; and how they are allowed to lie to their suspects. So a double standard there don't you think? I bring my kid up to tell the truth, but the people supposed to keep law and order are legally allowed to lie!
You know what I would tell my child now if he was charged with a serious offence? Keep your mouth shut and get a lawyer. It breaks my heart. I do believe in morals, my sons are moral individuals. I would not encourage them to lie nor lie myself, but I would now recommend staying silent if they were accused of anything serious. ( and my feelings on lawyers.... ugh don't even get me started!)
Honestly I am so thankful for policeman, its a tough job, that's underpaid, taxing mentally, physically and emotionally. I respect them in general, they have come to my aid so many times. Thank you for being there when my car broke down at 2 am in a bad part of town, and making sure I got home safely! Thank you for being there when my ex was drunk ,threatening me.
I just believe that they should be held to the same standard that we SHOULD hold ourselves and our children to. Don't lie, Don't steal, Don't ever hurt anyone., and respect authority figures and work hard,
Sadly, if I had seen all that you had, I probably wouldn't believe moms either. But, there are some of us that you could believe. I guess the trick is learning to tell the difference, Which is an impossibility.... I have gotten much better at it as a human , but I am old and it took me a long time. There are good and bad people on both sides.
Thank you for your service to the community.
Who knows!
Julius really did sound like a good kid, at least he sure had a lot going for him. Good famiily. Student-athelete. But then what's this about stealing Suburbans? Were they wannabe gangbangers? I suspect the other guy, not Julius, was the actual shooter.
Remember the name Paul Howell. RIP sir. Your hometown still thinks about you and will not let your name be forgotten. Rot in hell Julius Jones.
(Edit)
And really good video. Very thorough and well researched. I’ve done my own research, and don’t think there’s much doubt of his guilt. That’s just my opinion..
Hey, Buddy !!! "Opinions" are like A-Holes !!! Everybody has one !!!
@@JosephKulik2016 kudos on the ‘insult’.. but I’ll say it again. Rot in hell Julius Jones. RIP Paul Howell
Some of us care about the actual killer being in prison though. Hell, I have several red bandannas.
@@doctorshell7118 he is. His names Julius Jones. You can find him in mcalester
Agreed. There's plenty of evidence showing he's guilty and zero, after the fact "evidence", showing it wasn't him after all. His family giving him an alibi After his conviction, was completely destroyed by his family friends & girlfriend who confirmed that Alibi was for the night before the cold blooded murder not the night of. The "it's not my bandanna" theory destroyed by DNA evidence. Like literally every excuse which has been come up with, has been investigated and determined to be a lie. He should really be honest with his family and supporters about his actions that night he killed an innocent father in order to steal his vehicle, but it seems he just loves all the attention he's getting and the control over he has over his family members outside of the prison walls. I hope he comes clean for their sake, so they can move on with their lives, and for his own eternity's sake.
So the family is obviously lying based off the recorded interviews AND the receipts. The only real "evidence" he didn't do it is just totally honest inmates saying the possible accomplice fired the shots but he was still there committing the crime. That's still murder in every state. You do a felony and someone dies you can be charged if you took part even if you were the get away driver.
Absolutely the family is out and out lying, trying to get him off, they raised this murderer, obviously didn't teach him to value human life and then lie to get him off when he kills, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
I simply can not decide if he is guilty or not and most definitely do not wish to speculate.
I feel extreme sorrow for Paul and his family, this whole into case is a clusterfuck.
Thank you Kevin for yet another fantastic case.
R.I.P Paul 🕊
You don't need to. He's guilty and was found guilty in a fair trial. By a jury of his peers.
In general I always try to speculate, and use the evidence available to predict the most likely outcome. But I will never use absolutes and will try to apply a probability.
You're right Courtney, it's a mess! A botched investigation, terrible representation and then a racist juror! The family has the right to true justice for their loss.
Lol your a fool. This one's easy as can be. Guilty
@@mterri6a racist juror lol... There's 12 of em. It's a simple case. Guilty af. Better off on death row then in public
Jones was riding Paul Howell's car. The gun that was used to murder Howell was found in Julius Jones home. A white shirt and red bandana was also found in Julius's home. He did it! I HATE CELEBS THAT GET IN THE WAY OF JUSTICE.
I don't think the high profile celebs had much influence in Oklahoma. Perhaps they did on their anti-death penalty. Even the pro-life Church favors abolition of death penalty. In Julius Jones case, it sounds like his socalled frieds sold him out. Jones' 1st big mistake was choosing friends whose thing was stealing Suburbans.
Even guilty people deserve a fair trial. This case was a mess from start to finish. The victim’s family ultimately pay the price. I’m not sue of his guilt or innocence but he does deserve a fair trial.
The evidence still looks very strong that he's guilty, i'll concede that he wasn't offered the best defense, even if they retried it I think they're going to find him guilty. So his friends are pointing him out, he's sending threatening letters to his girlfriend. He went there to take that guy's car, with a gun. There are times when people are falsely accused or convicted on shallow evidence, this is not one of them. I'm curious to why the celebrities never rush out to advocate for the victims? I really don't know what witnesses they could have called for his legal team, they could have brought people in talking about his good grades and his scholarship, but that doesn't mean you can't be a killer.
What a dude says in jail about who did it is not even reliable in a kangaroo court.
Maybe they were liars, but there is NO way they would have those details before the trial without Jordan telling them.
The system failed me and my family miserably, so this case doesn't surprise me in the least. The people in hollyweird are so out of touch. All they do is meddle and destroy.
Celebrities? You Americans are strange. Kim said he didn't do it? Ahh, there you go. Set him free.
Your so RIGHT , STUPID AS HELL
Exactly apparently they have all the mouth that goes along with all that money
Just because "celebrities" say something doesn't mean Americans believe them. We were told by the same "celebrities" to vote for clinton in 2016, how'd that work out? What a stupid thing to say, where do you live?
Not sure if you know that Kim is actually a lawyer (her father is one of the most successful and famous lawyers of all time as well). She has a substantial background in false convictions. She's a smart woman with a relevant background. Pick someone else to use as a symbol of vapidness. (I'm not even a fan, have never consumed her primary media content, never bought anything sold by her family, etc.)

Not only was he apparently falsely convicted but his birthday cookie was unfairly eaten.........so many injustices!
Great video, thank you.
Chop shop owners don't want the kind of heat that comes with a murder car
Excellent work
I wish most of all that there wasn't a decision among these young men to carjack someone that night or any day/night. I believe that Mr. Jones had a level of involvement and that the night he was recounting spending with his family was indeed the night prior to the incident. However, I am not sure he pulled the trigger and for that level of doubt being presented I agree with the decision to commute his death sentence.
R.I.P. Paul Howell cause he is truly the victim and his life was taken too early and for an unjustifiable reason!
Claytine: I agree with you 100%
The problem with that is as his family acknowledges, and despite the "not allowed to apply for release" clause, he will apply, he will get out and far sooner than most expect - wait and see, it happens all the time.
He was a willing participant in a carjacking where a gun was present and a man was murdered - every one of them should get the needle.
I love how people somehow feel uncomfortable giving a death sentence if there is any “doubt” but don’t mind locking someone up for the rest of their life. If ur sure enough to take a man’s freedom for the rest of his life then he deserves the needle for first degree murder - if not, then he shouldn’t be convicted in the first place.
It was Ladell King that was seen with Christopher Jordan that day. Chris Jordan told a witness, Eckie Prater, that they were out scoping out Suburbans. Ladell King was a convicted felon and a police snitch. He also was one of the first to implicate Jones. He even gave the police his address and phone number.
Dude... Why would you need to read what you did off of a piece of paper? It shouldn't be hard to recall if that's what he was actually doing.
This exactly! If you’re telling the truth your memory is there!
He's clearly guilty. James Cordon says Julius had a bright future?! 🤣
Celebrities don’t ever stand up for someone because they honestly believe in that person. They don’t even take the time to understand the facts. They just want the flash of the camera. Oh, and the evidence of his innocence was not overwhelming.
Very well presented. Thank you.
Personally I think they should all have got life in prison.
Yep. Still didn’t understand why the shot Paul Howell.
Love your channel keep it up
It’s a shame that young man had a full scholarship but he chose to be a thug instead. Prayers for the victims family.
I so much agree.
He had to keep it real
Thanks for sharing Kevin 💜
Love how they always say “he was a promising college athlete”.
Why do you love that?
@@lizaltman1200cuz what's that have to do with anything. None that matters when u just killed someone
There was a lot of evidence against him. How would someone, other than Julius, plant the gun in the attic? Also, plant the black stocking and the ammunition in his car, that was at the garage being fixed? Julius was not innocent
Great job on this .
Ty, 4 doing this, Kevin...
At the end of this video, I still do not know what Jones' role, if any, was in this case. What I now know is that he did not receive an adequate defense at the trial. As has happened in other cases, his conviction should be set aside and he should be granted a new trial. As the chair of the pardon and parole board said, people should not be executed if there are doubts and there are doubts here. I hate when people get attached to one position and are unwilling to look with fresh eyes. Paul Howell is not forgotten here. It is very important that the person who killed him is held accountable and that the circumstances of his death are clearly explained.
I 100% agree with this comment ! No one should be put the death when there are doubts! People are acting like there was indeed a smoking gun! I was so confused! The sister’s description had me confused. The fact that the friend spent the night and could have very well planted the gun, had me confused, the different different dna on both the gun and bandanna…this was hard. There is no way I could have voted guilty as a juror. The evidence alone was shakey!
Great videos Kevin. I was wondering if you could somehow make the Audio louder?
Thanks Sandey! I think you'll find that we've fixed the audio issues in our latest videos...those earlier ones had a couple hiccups as we were still learning 😀
The dad calling 911 showed the irritation that i would feel with all those questions already answered.
After watching n falling asleep to forensic files every night for the last 3-4 years i finally found my new channel... Your voice abd story telling skills are awesome dude... Got my mom listening to you too lol
Oh yes, the profound wisdom of Kim Kardashian and her fantasy thinking friends. Because they all know so much about criminal forensics, psychology, and law..🙄
Nothing was said about having gunpowder on Julius' clothing or skin...that evidence would be undeniable
You kinda have to arrest and test within a day. People wash you know
There was none on him or any of his clothing.
All of these celebrities look so stupid! There are so many people who have had real injustices done to them, I know, I am one of them.
It makes me sick to see all these people rallying together to defend someone who is so clearly guilty!
Why not use your power and influence to help those who DESERVE IT!!!!
This just makes me sick.
To me it’s weird that at his clemency hearing he’s reading from a paper the events of that night. A prepared statement? Why would you need that to tell what it is that you personally did or didnt do?
Thank you Kevin
From what I know it does appear as though he is guilty of this crime though I absolutely agree with the person who said he didn't receive a fair trial. At the very least, he should have had an experienced attorney representing him. In all of the true crime I've researched over the years, I'm not sure that I have ever come across a case where an attorney who has never tried a murder/death penalty case has been assigned as head of defense legal team. In fact, in cases where the defendant has hired their own counsel, judges usually won't even allow them to retain inexperienced attorneys and if they want to keep that particular attorney, they have to add and work with one who has experience in capital murder cases (or whatever type of murder cases/possible sentence the case is).
What like the Chandler Halderson lawyers they were useless
I haven’t seen anything that qualifies as ineffective counsel tho regardless of how much experience his attorney had.
The celebrities saying there is “overwhelming” evidence of his innocence are lying. The dude is clearly guilty.
His lawyers own colleague, Bob Ravitz said he was horrified by his poor representation of Jones! Very sad.
Justice isn't just convicting someone. It's about convicting the right someone. It's clear that there's sufficient conflicting evidence creating reasonable doubt, and for that reason alone, he should be given a new trial or have his sentence reduced to live with an opportunity for parole.
The Gun went off ‘ACCIDENTALLY’ !!!. We’ve all heard that before at one time or another !!!.
Is this a joke? Jailhouse snitches and family alibis? And the gun was planted -- Above the ceiling of the closet? And the magazine behind a doorbell?
Sure, Jan
Marcia Marcia Marcia ... yeah poor Julius, he's got the worst kind of luck. All the planets of evidence just happened to align against him that day.
You have the most fascinating cases !!!!! Thank you
What abt justice for the family whose father died
You can split hairs all you want but at the end of the day, guilty or not, he was not given a fair trial, nor was he given a vigorous defense and representation.
Death sentence cases must be the most rigorously reviewed cases in the so-called criminal justice system. You don’t make deals with criminals or give the defendant an over worked PD to defend them.
No matter your position on an individual you ought to support the equal protection and application of the law to all. If one injury and injustice is allowed to occur, then we’re all equally responsible.
When an individual is executed the manner of death is listed as homicide and the sentence is carried out by the state. The state is you, me, and every other citizen.
I would like to ask James Corden what is the overwhelming evidence that proves he is innocent, I do not see any myself
Because his celebrity friends said so.
These celebrities 🤣🤣.. I still remember when the Jussie Smollett alleged “hate crime” surfaced, every celebrities couldn’t wait to come out to condemn Trump supporters (I’m not a trump supporter, I think that dude is a freaking clown), but when the truth came out, those same celebrities didn’t say a damn thing 🤣🤣
Might have been a bit more eager to jump at Trump seeing as how he so strongly sought to condemn the Central Park Five and spent years trying to have innocent men convicted and put to death based on nothing more than his own hatred and ignorance. Hate begets hate. However, I did see several people walk back their statements when the truth came out about Smollett. Literally HUNDREDS of articles, interviews and statements.... But never once a word from Trump after he sought to have 5 innocent men killed. (In only ONE of many instances throughout his life where he demonstrated more of the same.) Perhaps if you follow a wider variety of sources you would also have seen the many people who did speak up about Smollett, many condemning him while also acknowledging their own wrongness. It wasn't blowing up the airwaves, but many celebrities DO use their voice to speak out and WILL right their wrongs.
Thanks for great knowledge + update on this case of Julius + the victim Mr.Paul Howell!!
I remember a guy called Aaron Hernandez, he was a stand up guy with a record of being a good man. Well, he turned out to be a no good person after it was proven how he committed murder.
You do important work
Even in the most favorable light, Jones was an accomplice to the murder. Under the law all involved in a murder are guilty of the murder, regardless as to who pulled the trigger.
The only injustice here is that Jones accomplice only got 15 years.
I suppose there’s too much information to condense into a short video. I just don’t see the overwhelming evidence that this sort of publicity seems to imply.
Well put, I’ve said on this video but I’ve done my own research about this and don’t think there’s much doubt about his crime. Meagen, his sister, has been called a liar and horrible things. She’s a great woman and a great mom to her kids. RIP Paul Howell.
Before jumping on a bandwagon and getting involved in advocacy, people need to look critically and deeply at these cases and not just accept what a celebrity tells them at face value. Access public records, read trial transcripts and appellate decisions where possible before being part of something that causes the victim’s family further pain. People need to understand as well that there’s a difference between journalism and advocacy journalism, and calling something a “documentary” does not mean it is 100% factual or accurate. On first blush, I assumed the West Memphis 3, Steven Avery and Sam Shepherd were all innocent because that’s the narrative of choice in the popular media, but upon researching them for a podcast project I had to conclude that they’re all in fact guilty, even if there were procedural problems with their trials.
@@kathleenbarbosa7846 the West Memphis 3 we’re innocent, correct? Didn’t they jail one of their fathers for this after years of them being in prison?
so true!!
Devon tracey brought me here i cant believe these celebrities are lending their names to get this person out
The Atheist Roo!! Jones was only convicted because of systemic systems of structural institutions xD.
I hate the fact that these celebrities use their power and money to meddle in things they have no real clue about, believing what they are spoonfed and are deluded into thinking they are somehow helping humanity. Their profession is such a vain one and their egos so big that they just seem to like the idea that they can manipulate justice. Julius Jones is guilty as hell. The fact that they do this in the face of the victim's family just enrages me and makes me feel so sorry for Paul Howell's family.
It doesn’t seem like he received a fair trial considering his attorney was not even a licensed attorney when he was representing the defendant. I think the evidence points more towards guilt. But a retrial seems appropriate
What else is there to speculate about? He is guilty! You don’t have that type of evidence against someone and they be innocent. Make no sense. He is a killer! Make no mistake. Case closed! Peace.
This case does not fit "beyond a reasonable doubt". Should not have a death sentence.
Jailhouse confessions are notoriously incredible (literally).
And family alibis are always so convincing lol. Especially when they're caught in a lie.
@reignman30 oh no, I don't think his family members were credible either. There didn't seem to be any reasonable doubt. All this stuff seems to come up after he was convicted.
Best very careful who you hang out with, the wrong friends can get your life detailed for ever.
James Cordon says he is innocent.🤣🤣. Must be guilty then.
I’m not a fan of the death penalty in general, but if you are going to use it, you better be 100% sure.
