Kim Kardashian West visits Julius Jones on Death Row in Oklahoma
Article via OKCFOX
Global celebrity and activist Kim Kardashian West traveled to Oklahoma to visit with Julius Jones, a man on death row being held in Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester.
Jones was convicted in 1999 of shooting a businessman in Edmond but has maintained that he is innocent and was never even at the scene of the crime.
Kardashian West became involved in the Oklahoma-based “Justice for Julius” campaign after seeing the three-hour ABC documentary, “The Last Defense.”
Over six million people have signed a Change.org petition asking the Pardon and Parole Board and Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt to commute Jones’ sentence.
In June, Attorney General Mike Hunter acknowledged the board had the authority to do so.
Kardashian West met with Julius on death row, accompanied by Julius’ attorney, Dale Baich.
She also met in Oklahoma City with Julius’ family that included his mother, father, sister, and brother.
Justice for Julius coalition leader Cece Jones-Davis said all Julius wants is a chance to tell his side of the story and present the evidence that should have been presented at trial.
“Here is a man with an alibi, who did not match the eye-witness description of the shooter, and who was convicted by the testimony of incredibly unreliable witnesses motivated by secret plea deals,” said Jones-Davis. “It has been more than one-year since Julius submitted his commutation application and we want the Pardon and Parole Board to grant Julius a hearing that will be full and fair and will also allow the board to consider the new evidence. Anything less would be a tremendous miscarriage of justice.”

Kim Kardashian finally addresses allegations against photographer Marcus Hyde
Kim Kardashian has broken her silence on the recent allegations that her personal photographer, Marcus Hyde, offered a model a free photoshoot in exchange for nude pictures.
“I have been reading all of the messages and stories from women regarding inappropriate and inexcusable behavior of a photographer that I have worked with in the past,” Kim wrote on her Instagram story on Tuesday. “My own experiences have always been professional, and I am deeply shocked, saddened and disappointed to learn that other women have had very different experiences.
“I stand in full support of every woman’s right to not be harassed, asked or pressured to do anything they are not comfortable with,” she continued. “We cannot allow this type of behavior to go unnoticed and I applaud those who speak out.”
On Monday, Los Angeles-based model Sunnaya accused Hyde of trying to bribe her into sending him nude pictures in exchange for a free photoshoot. If she didn’t send the nudes, he would’ve charged her $2,000, she claimed. Sunnaya shared screenshots of a conversation allegedly between her and Hyde that ultimately ended with him allegedly telling her to “find someone else. I’ll keep shooting celebs.”
Ariana Grande, who frequently collaborated with Hyde, slammed him over the accusations, as did Bella Thorne, drag queen Aquaria and Michelle Visage.
The famed shutterbug survived a near-fatal car crash last year. During his recovery, Kardashian and husband Kanye West donated $25,000 to alleviate his medical costs, and in April he attended West’s Sunday Service performance at Coachella.

Kim Kardashian West: Thanks for Putting Me on Gov’s Radar Says Death Row Prisoner
The death row inmate Kim Kardashian West pushed into the spotlight says he appreciates her support, but adds he desperately needs her to get him the one thing he needs to clear his name.
California prisoner Kevin Cooper‘s attorney, Norman Hile, tells TMZ … Cooper is aware Kim tweeted about him a few days ago, putting his case front and center with her 60 million followers, but says he really just needs one person’s attention — CA Governor Jerry Brown.
Cooper needs Gov. Brown to order new advanced DNA testing … a request that’s been ignored up to this point.
If you’re unfamiliar with his story … Cooper was convicted of 4 murders in the 1980s. He’s maintained his innocence, and even suggested he was framed. A NYT op-ed on the case concluded the same thing.
Kim’s tweet was a direct plea to Gov. Brown, and Hile says Cooper is hoping Kim’s legion of fans follow up, research his case and then write to Brown. For his part, Cooper is going to write a thank-you letter to Kim.
Our Kim sources tell us she has no personal connection to Cooper, and she simply stumbled across an article about him a few months ago. What’s also interesting … her push on his behalf comes just ahead of Kanye West‘s Thursday meeting with President Trump.
The White House says they’ll be talking prison reform, but Cooper’s case would be off the table — it’s a state matter, not federal.

Kanye West Posted A Video Of North Singing The Drake Song That Started The Kim Kardashian Affair Theory And People Have Thoughts
The majority of the theory stemmed from the lyrics to Drake’s song, “In My Feelings,” which references a woman called “KiKi.”
Fans of Kim Kardashian will know that “KiKi” is her nickname.
In another song, Drake repeated the words “Your Wifey” in the same vocal pattern Kanye uses on his track, “Runaway”
And in another track, Drake referenced “creeping down the block and making a right” to see his secret lover. Turns out that you can get from Drake’s house to Kimye’s by following these directions.
However, a few hours after the theory blew up the internet, Kim shut the whole thing down with this comment on The Shade Room’s Instagram account.
And a couple of days after that, Kanye appeared to respond to the theory in a string of tweets in which he sent “good energy and love” to Drake.

However, Kanye appears to have thrown a spanner in the works because yesterday he posted this video of his five-year-old daughter North West singing in the back of a car.

LeBron James, Kim Kardashian West, Rihanna and other Celebrities rally to free Cyntoia Brown, a former sex slave jailed for killing the man who bought her
Celebrities and people around the world are campaigning for the release of a Nashville woman who was convicted to life in prison for fatally shooting a man she was sold to for sex as a teenager.
Cyntoia Brown, 29, was sentenced to life in prison for killing a man who hired her for sex back in 2004, when she was 16 years old.
Brown claims that 43-year-old real estate agent Johnny Allen took her to his home for sex, but she felt threatened when she got there and fatally shot him, something she later admitted to.
Prosecutors claimed Brown shot Allen to steal from him. She was tried as an adult and found guilty of murder and prostitution with eligibility for parole after she turns 69.
While in prison, Brown earned her G.E.D, associates degree, and is said to be aiming for a bachelor’s degree.
Celebrities like LeBron James, Kim Kardashian West and Rihanna have taken to social media using the hashtag #FreeCyntoiaBrown hoping to raise awareness about her conviction.
“Did we somehow change the definition of #JUSTICE along the way?? Cause…..something is horribly wrong when the system enables these rapists and the victim is thrown away for life! To each of you responsible for this child’s sentence I hope to God you don’t have children, because this could be your daughter being punished for punishing already!” Rihanna wrote on Instagram.
