In less than 24 hours, Julius Jones is scheduled to end his decades-long imprisonment on Oklahoma’s death row with a needle in his arm, the latest death at the hands of a state that’s killed more people than almost anywhere else in the country. As his execution date nears, the chorus of advocates and activists speaking up on Jones’s behalf has only grown louder, with calls to Republican Gov.
