Nearly three decades after the tragic death of James Jordan, father of basketball legend Michael Jordan, the case is being revisited. Judge Gregory Weeks, who oversaw the original trial, has requested the North Carolina parole commission to consider releasing Daniel Green, one of the two men convicted of the 1993 murder.
Green, who was just 18 at the time, has served a life sentence. While he admits to helping his co-defendant, Larry Demery, dispose of the body, he has always denied shooting James Jordan. The judge’s recent request raises questions about potential new evidence or circumstances influencing this decision, though details remain unclear.

This move follows a 2020 decision to grant parole to Demery, which was later revoked in 2021 without any public explanation. It remains uncertain if Green’s case will follow a similar path or if he might be released. The development has drawn significant public attention, reviving interest in a case that had faded from the spotlight.
Michael Jordan has yet to comment on this new twist in his father’s murder case. However, the story is sure to keep the public engaged as they await further details.
