It is hard to believe this happened in 1993.
It was a different media time back then, but still was a major story. One of the people convicted of murdering Michael Jordan’s father might get out of jail soon.
One of two men convicted in the 1993 murder of Michael Jordan’s father is being considered for parole.
The N.C. Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission says it is considering Larry Demery for parole via the Mutual Agreement Parole Program.
Demery was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to first-degree murder, armed robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery in 1996 in the fatal shooting of James Jordan.
James Jordan was killed on July 23, 1993, while sleeping in his car along Highway 74 near Lumberton. His body was found in a swampy area in McColl, S.C., on Aug. 3, 1993.
Demery and his friend Daniel Andre Green were arrested in the murder. Both men have accused the other of being the triggerman.
There has always been a lot of rumors and speculation about Jordan father’s death.
