Jones, a 41-year-old Black man from Oklahoma, is set to be executed on Thursday for the murder of Paul Howell in 1999.
The comments by Jones, a 41-year-old Black man, come less than 24 hours ahead of his scheduled execution in Oklahoma. Jones was convicted of murdering Howell and was sentenced to death in 2002.
Jordan was a co-defendant in Howell's murder case and served 15 years in prison after testifying that Jones fatally shot Howell. Jordan has since been released from prison. While Jones has maintained his innocence, Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter released a transcript of the trial in 2020 and said,"The information we are releasing today is from the trial transcript, and it disproves every claim that he is innocent."
In addition to the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board, numerous others have also called for the execution to be canceled.
