Thursday 19 May 2022 05:22 AM 'I'm so happy': Kim Kardashian sheds tears of joy as she passes the baby bar trends now

Kim Kardashian celebrated two huge personal victories on the sixth episode of The Kardashians - passing the 'baby bar exam' and helping secure clemency for Julius Jones.

The 41-year-old reality star had been studying furiously for the exam throughout the early episodes of the Hulu series, finding out - at Red Lobster of all places - that she passed.

She also found out that Julius Jones - an Oklahoma prisoner who has spent over 20 years on death row for a murder he insists he didn't commit - will not be executed, after a big push to grant him clemency. 

Towards the start of the episode, Kim meets with Scott Budnick, the founder of the Anti-Recidivism Coalition, who Kim has been working with over the past few years to help commute unjust prison sentences.

'Scott Budnick is a good friend of mine and he's really dedicated his life to prison reform. He's the first person who brought me to a prison,' Kim says in confession.

She added that, 'once I realized I could make a difference, it was really hard to stop.'

Scott asks Kim what she wants to do once she passes the 'baby bar exam,' which she recently took after failing multiple times before, with this being her last chance.

'I think it would be cool to start a firm that does just justice reform and only hires formerly incarcerated people,' Kim tells him, which he says is, 'so cool.'

'Just do stuff like help fund cases and help fund getting an investigator,' she tells scott, before adding more in confession.

'I really invest in the people I work with, especially on death row cases,' she added, before revealing one of the cases she worked on involving a man named Brandon Bernard.

They show video-conferencing footage with Kim talking to Brandon, where she says that she really believes in him, 'and I'll do anything I can to help stop this.'

Kim adds that she got to know him, 'really well in his last few days,' as we see footage of her chatting on the phone with him.

She added that she posted stuff on social media, 'because he really wanted me to share his story,' as they show tweets she posted about Brandon and footage of a phone conversation with famed lawyer Alan Dershowitz - one of the 'dream team' lawyers alongside Kim's father, Robert Kardashian, on O.J. Simpson's defense team.

She tells him that Brandon is, 'the sweetest guy ever,' as Alan tells her, 'If you save a single human life, it's as if you saved the whole world.'

Kim adds in confession that, 'sometimes we're able to stop it, and sometimes we're not,' as it's revealed that Brandon was executed on December 10, 2020.

Kim is seen speaking on the phone with Brandon on the day of his execution, as Kim is seen wiping tears away.

'I was his last call,' she says in confession, as Brandon tells her, 'But you don't gotta be sad,' though Kim admits in confession, 'I couldn't hold it in.'

'The fact that he was calming me down from crying was really… it broke my heart. He was executed, we weren't able to stop it, but this is why I do what I do, because the system is so broken. I think my goal is just sharing the process, so that people can see what our system is really like, and how inhumane the death penalty really is,' Kim said in confession.

'I have to fight harder to make sure this does not happen to someone else,' Kim says, as the episode transitions back to Kim telling Scott she can't stop thinking about Julius Jones.

She tells him that the invitations to the execution were sent to his family and he was about to be executed by the state of Oklahoma in just three days, as some of Kim's tweets about Julius are shown.

She adds that the parole board has recommended twice that Julius have his sentence commuted to life without the possibility of parole.

Kim tells Scott that she, 'can't imagine' being in that scenario, adding that, 'we are no more than just one choice off of a really f***ed up life.'

Kim reveals in confession that Julius Jones has been on death row for over 20 years and, 'a lot of people believe him to be an innocent man on death row.'

They show clips from media outlets discussing the case, while Kim explains they are seeking clemency, 'where the governor or the President can reduce someone's sentence, or even grant a pardon.'

More news clips are shown that reveal Jones' lawyers are arguing evidence that could have exonerated Jones was 'overlooked' and his family says Jones was home the night of the murder.

Kim also explained, 'I think what got to me is he was hanging out with his friends. There's a lot of evidence that his co-defendant planted evidence and then plead guilty and got a lesser charge.'

'I always try to think of a case and try to think what would I do if this was my son,' she adds in confession, before telling Scott she is 'so scared' for her sons Psalm and Saint 'to be teenagers, just hanging around the wrong people.'

'I tell them all the time just that it's who you hang around,' she tells Scott, adding in confession that her and Scott teamed up, 'to fight for Julius.'

She tells Scott that she is going to post on social media that there is a defibrillator there to revive him if he has a heart attack.

'They must revive him so they can kill him. Yeah, it's crazy. That's what's in the handbook,' she tells Scott, who says, 'that's just so insane to me.

He asks what Kim's father Robert Kardashian would think of her doing this work, insisting, 'He would be so damn proud.'

'He would be. He would get a kick out of it. He would be like, 'You're insane,' because he used to tell me, 'You don't want to do this.' He said to me, 'You're so vain, you are not going to want to be an attorney and you'll have so many f***ing wrinkles because the stress and you'll stay up all night. He's like I know you, you don't want this job,' Kim tells Scott.

Scott adds, 'Look at how much you've changed, willing to take the wrinkles,' as Kim jokes, 'Yeah, well I was gonna say thank god for Botox, but yeah.'

Kim is later seen heading into the Anti-Recidivism Coalition - the organization Scott Budnick formed - as Kim admits she hasn't been there in awhile.

'Scott Budnick has dedicated his money and his time and his resources to starting ARC, which basically is a program where, when people get out of prison, they can come to him for a job, for a place to stay,' Kim says in confession.

She adds that her and Scott have been working on Julius' case for over two years and they are trying to do, 'everything we can to stop' his execution.

She adds that her and Scott make 'a vision board type mood board of who we think would be important.'

The board features a list of names and institutions they plan to call on for support, with Kim adding they want, 'anyone who can be influential to the governor and to help get our message across.'

Kim says she wants to do a Zoom call and she can get a group of 35 different celebrities, with Scott suggesting that they invite Julius' family to come and talk about 'Julius and his character.'

Kim reiterates in confession that the parole board has recommended clemency to the governor twice, 'which is really rare,' adding the governor can, 'accept that and grant him clemency or the governor can do nothing and the execution will continue.

'This is a life or death situation,' Kim explains, as Scott and her start calling and texting the people on their vision
