This he can be achieved a number of ways, although the most common way is to deliberately give contradictory accounts of their movements, which is usually enough to merit a lynching. Once the Jester is executed, Jester can choose one of the guilty voters or abstainers to haunt them and make themself die. However, if he is murdered at night, he will immediately lose the game.
