A childhood friend, Ronald Washington, and Karl Jordan Jr., the DJ's godson, were on trial.
Two people close to the rap star, godson Karl Jordan Jr. and childhood friend Ronald Washington, are on trial in a case that has offered answers to the long-unsolved loss of a hip-hop legend while raising new questions about his life.A jury has found two men accused in the 2002 murder of Run-DMC star Jam Master Jay guilty of all counts.
The verdict is in: Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington have been found guilty on all counts for the murder of Jam Master Jay., saying prosecutors improperly guided a witness to testify that one defendant confessed to her decades ago that he killed the Run-DMC star and told her “people get what they deserve.”
Washington's former girlfriend Daynia McDonald testified Thursday that he called her to tell her Mizell was dead, shortly after Washington had brought her to the studio to meet his celebrity friend. Stunned, she asked Washington how he knew of the DJ's death.In a subsequent conversation, she told jurors, she asked Washington whether he had something to do with the killing, “and he basically said yes.
Prosecutors and an eyewitness say Jordan shot the rap star while Washington stood at the door and brandished a gun. According to the government, the attack was spurred by bad blood over a drug deal. Attorneys for Jordan, 40, have said he was at his then-girlfriend’s home when Mizell was shot. Lawyers for Washington, 59, have said the government is bringing a slapped-together case against a man who was relying on Jay financially, not gunning for him.
