Judge Appeals for Release of Daniel Green in 1993 James Jordan Murder Case

Posted : 18 October 2024

In a significant turn of events, Judge Gregory Weeks, who sentenced Daniel Green to life in prison in 1996 for the murder of James Jordan, has requested the North Carolina Board of Pardons to release Green. This request, nearly 31 years after the high-profile murder, has reignited interest in a case that once captured national attention. Green was convicted for his involvement in the killing of James Jordan, the father of basketball legend Michael Jordan, but questions have arisen about the fairness of the trial and the evidence presented.

 
James Jordan was tragically murdered in 1993, and his death shocked the nation due to his connection to Michael Jordan, one of the greatest basketball players in history. The elder Jordan was found dead in his car along a North Carolina highway, sparking widespread media coverage. Daniel Green and Larry Demery were later implicated in the crime, with Demery testifying that Green was the one who pulled the trigger. Green has always maintained his innocence, claiming he only helped dispose of the body, but had no involvement in the murder itself.

 
Judge Weeks’ recent appeal stems from doubts about the trial process, specifically regarding expert testimony that was withheld from the defense. The judge has expressed regret over the ruling, stating that the unrevealed evidence could have led to a different outcome. His emotional plea during the hearing moved many, including Rev. Thomas Jones, a criminal justice advocate, who described being deeply affected by the judge's remarks. This revelation has called into question the integrity of Green's conviction and whether justice was truly served.

 
Green, now in his late forties, has expressed remorse for his role in the aftermath of the crime but continues to assert that he was not involved in the murder itself. He remains hopeful that the Pardons Board will carefully consider the new information and his long-standing claims of innocence. The Board is expected to deliberate on the matter for several weeks before making a final decision regarding his release.
