Update: The Stitt campaign canceled the fundraiser not too long after we broke the story. Here's a modified version of the original report below...
Old Headline: Kevin Stitt "praying" at Edmond fundraiser today...
Although his decision already appears to be made, Kevin Stitt is apparently in "deep prayer" over whether or not he should do the right thing and spare the life of death row inmate Julius Jones.
At least that's what his staffers told members of the Jones family when they met yesterday:
Supporters of Julius Jones said Tuesday, after meeting with members of Gov. Kevin Stitt’s staff, that they’ve been told the governor is “deep in prayer” about his impending decision whether or not to commute Jones’ sentence...
“We have received a word from our governor that at this particular time, he's not meeting publicly with anyone, but is spending much of his time in prayer and meditation so that he receives spiritual guidance from the Lord our God to make the right decision,” Reed said. “We're going to ask our city, our community, the state, even our nation to spend the next day or so in much prayer that the Lord will lead our governor in the right direction.”
Yep, Kevin Stitt is in deep prayer looking for guidance from the Lord on whether or not he should murder someone who may be innocent of his convicted crimes, and isn't meeting with anyone publically.
