Zach and Stacey take an in-depth look at Oklahoma vs. Julius Jones. Below, you can read an overview of Julius’ case as stated on justiceforjuliusjones.com: "Julius is on death row despite maintaining his innocence and compelling evidence that he was wrongfully convicted. Julius’ co-defendant fit an eyewitness’s description of the shooter, while Julius did not. His co-defendant was the state’s key witness against him, and the prosecution repeatedly told jurors at Julius’ trial that his co-defendant would serve a 30-year sentence in exchange for his testimony. However, after pleading guilty to the crime, Julius’ co-defendant was released after only 15 years and is now a free man. In a case riddled with odious racial discrimination — including a police officer’s use of a racial slur during Julius’ arrest and the State’s removal of all prospective black jurors except one —evidence shows that a juror used the n-word before jury deliberations at the sentencing phase."

On April 21, 2020, John, 39, and Katie Palmer, 38, decided to go on an early morning stroll. Katie loved nature and wanted to show her husband some killdeer birds she had seen nesting just up the road. At approximately 7:45 am, just 15 minutes after the loving couple left their home, tragedy struck and changed everything when a local man hit John and Katie from behind with his truck while they were on their walk.

On May 4, 1983, Melody returned home after she had been on a fishing trip with her family. Her brother, Randall, dropped her off at her home, and she asked if he would like to stay the night, which apparently was a regular occurrence for the close knit siblings. That night, however, he decided not to stay. Melody climbed out of the car at 10:30 pm and walked toward her well-lit house. When she arrived, the door was ajar, and her brother noticed there was a man standing in her doorway, assuming the man was Paul. Melody’s brother left, knowing his sister was safely at home with her husband. That was the last time anyone ever saw Melody or her husband Paul alive.

On Sunday July 10, 1977 in Claremore, Oklahoma, 18 year old Laura Long and her parents did what they did every Sunday to prepare for the week ahead. They washed their cars and filled up their gas tanks. Laura had just received a new car as a high school graduation present, and like any teenager with a new car, she took great pride in the upkeep. On this particular Sunday, Laura went to fill her gas tank before her parents. As she was heading back, she passed her parents as they went to fill their car. They waved to each other. No one could have known that was the last time Laura’s parents would ever see her alive.

Introduction:
Our place of work, for most of us, should feel like an extension of our homes. We know the place. We know the people. And, we’re supposed to feel safe. These true crime stories have shown us many times, however, that the feeling of safety we receive in our homes is a fabrication, and that the lines of delineation between “inside/ours,” and “outside/theirs” can be blurred, and that people who wish to harm others either have no respect for the sanctity of other people’s homes, or, as is often the case, actually come from that inner circle of so-called ‘trusted’ people.
The same can be said of the places where we work. In this story, we will see that murder can sometimes come from co-workers, from those we see every day and work alongside. This is the story of Alton Nolen and the murder of Colleen Hufford.

Katherine did not enjoy motherhood. In fact, she wanted to escape it and the responsibility.
In 2002, Katherine, Logan, and J.D. moved in with a woman named Melody Lennington.
On Sunday June 23, 2002, at 3:00 a.m., Melody was sleeping when she heard screaming. She immediately recognized the voice as Logan’s, but assuming he was having a night terror, Melody went back to sleep.

Just a short time later, Melody decided to get out of bed and make sure everything was alright and saw Katherine in their front room at the computer. Melody expressed to Katherine she heard Logan screaming and asked if he was okay.

Katherine responded, explaining to Melody that Logan was ill so she decided to put him in the back bedroom. Melody, seemingly satisfied with Katherine’s explanation, returned to bed and woke up at 6 a.m. because she needed to get ready for work.

When Melody saw Katherine, she was still sitting at the computer. Again, Melody asked Katherine if Logan was okay. Melody expressed that she needed to get her work clothes out of the back room but really didn’t want to disturb Logan if he was unwell.

Katherine responded to Melody’s concern, saying, “don’t worry about it. He’s in the basement.” Melody thought about the basement which was solid cement, contained the hot water heater, had old broken cabinets and an old soiled twin mattress with nothing but springs to support it. Melody thought to herself, the basement is no place for a child, let alone a sick child.

Melody was upset by this; nevertheless, she got ready and left for work.

What Melody didn’t know was that the scream she heard from Logan Tucker would be the last anyone heard from him.
