7:27Now PlayingYodit Tewolde talks to Jonah Kessel, deputy director of the New York Times Opinion section, about the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles refused to stop Quintin Jones’s execution’s scheduled to be executed on May 19 for killing his great aunt in the 90s.
Jones asked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for clemency.
“I don’t believe that treating murderers by murdering people is going to solve any problems for us,” Kessel says. “This isn’t about the death penalty. Even if I don’t believe in it, this is about Quintin Jones. This is about clemency and there’s a reason why it exists.”
