Advocated for Julius Jones say this request undermines public faith in the justice process.

Jones is currently scheduled to have a commutation hearing on September 13th.

"It is shocking– and, quite frankly, outrageous – that the promise of a fair hearing, which former AG Mike Hunter agreed Mr. Jones has a right to, might now be short-circuited because of this rush to resume executions," Rev. Cece Jones-Davis said.

The advocates are asking the Pardon and Parole Board to allow Jones the opportunity to tell his story at his commutation hearing.

Many believe Jones is innocent saying his co-defendant, Christopher Jones, confessed to committing the crime.

AG O'Conner says there are seven inmates to be scheduled for execution.

"[They]were convicted of heinous crimes. They either didn't challenge the protocol or offer an alternative method of execution," O'Connor continued.

According to O'Connor appeals for these cases have lasted between 13 and 36 years.

"In 2016, two-thirds of Oklahomans voted to insert capital punishment into the constitution. My job as the state's chief law enforcement officer is to enforce the laws of the state of Oklahoma.

“Our thoughts remain with the families and loved ones of the victims of all death row inmates. They have endured the lengthy appeals process, while waiting decades for justice for horrific crimes their loved ones suffered. Further delay will only perpetuate that injustice," O'Connor said.

Dale Baich, an attorney for the seven prisoners reached out to FOX 25 saying, "Oklahoma has a checkered history when it comes to carrying out executions. The drug protocol that was problematic seven years ago is the same one the state seeks to use again. Given that history and the unresolved questions about the constitutionality of the State’s execution protocol that are pending before the federal district court, Oklahoma should not move forward with any executions at this time."

He noted that the court has allowed the Eighth Amendment challenge to proceed to trial for 26 other prisoners saying there are questions about Oklahoma's execution method.

"To allow executions to proceed when there is a chance the court could find a constitutionally unacceptable risk that a person could suffer because of the drug combination used, is just plain wrong," Baich says.

The seven prisoners are as follows: John Grant (State seeking 11/18/21 execution) , Julius Jones (State seeking 10/28/21 execution), BJ Stouffer (State seeking 12/9/21 execution), Wade Lay (State seeking 12/30/21), Donald Grant (State seeking 12/30/21 execution), Gilbert Postelle (State seeking 1/10/22 execution), and James Coddington (State seeking 2/10/22 execution).
