During his time with the Wildcards, Jacks made no attempt to deny these murders, or to explain any extenuating circumstances.
Despite his crimes, Jacks was offered a pardon in return for taking part in a special mission for the government, infiltrating the Diabolos gang along with Ace and Deuce. The three successfully infiltrated the gang but were betrayed by Deuce. In the ensuing fight, Deuce shot Jacks from behind. Ace carried Jacks away but Jackson died from his injuries.
Following the successful completion of the mission by Ace, Jacks was posthumously given his pardon and was buried with honours in Arlington cemetery.
