Yodit Tewolde sat down with Derrick Jamison, a man who was exonerated in 2005 after he was convicted of murder in 1985 and was scheduled for execution six times, about the execution of Quintin Jones.

Despite pleas from Jones, his family and activists to Governor Greg Abbott to spare his life, Texas executed Jones on Wednesday.

“Should nobody have a right to say who should live or die in America,” Jamison says. “It’s ain’t going to make America no safer by killing this young man.”
