Borrowed Time 56 Days on the Run: Was It Murder or Justified? You Be the Judge
Convicted murderer Karrier "Payday Jones" Jones, who was subsequently arrested, tried, and convicted of brutally stabbing a man twenty-two times, resulting in his death, takes you on the 56-day journey he spent as a fugitive. Although the homicide was committed in the protection of his family, murder is still murder. Refusing to turn himself in to the authorities, Karrier elected to run, and the manhunt began. As he ducked and dodged the police, several scenarios arose threatening his safety and freedom. On multiple occasions, feeling that his life was over, he found himself on the verge of committing another homicide. Covered by God, he was able to avoid capture and further violent crimes until his borrowed time came to an end. Once captured, he was subsequently convicted and sentenced to a term of 15 years in a Texas state prison. As strange as it may seem, Karrier took this entire situation as a blessing in disguise. Through this ordeal, Karrier managed to find God while sitting in a prison cell. Now a strong advocate for victims of domestic violence, Karrier has dedicated himself to redirecting the minds of gang members and men who walk, talk, and live as he once did as a member of the Crips. The contents of this book are completely true and are not meant to be taken as glorification. Domesticated homicides are at an all-time high, and in the end, nobody wins. This true story gives vivid insight into the effect that domestic violence has and the results for all parties involved, the families of both the victims and the abuser included. Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Karrier "Payday Jones" Jones is an all-around entertainer. Actor, artist, and hip hop artist manager. Also an entrepreneur, Karrier was the proud owner of a successful trucking company, a recording studio, and lease holder to a tattoo shop before being convicted of homicide. While in prison (where he currently resides as of the writing of this book), he managed to find God and a purpose and reason to live a better life than the one in which he once lived. He now dedicates his time and testimony to the lifelong fight against domestic violence. Up for parole in 2028, Karrier plans to continue his acting career and use any platforms that he is awarded to bring awareness to domestic violence. With plans of starting a non-profit organization aimed at removing the wool from the eyes of active gang members and aiding in the fight against domestic violence, Karrier believes that his testimony will be a big help to both life-altering epidemics. Stay tuned for updates on Karrier, as well as his second novel, the sequel to "Borrowed Time 56 Days On The Run", properly titled "A Killer Amongst Killers", in which he gives you a first-hand view of his time in a Texas state prison.
