Judge Seeks Release of Convicted Killer in Michael Jordan's Father's Murder

Retired Judge Gregory Weeks petitions for Daniel Green's release, citing withheld forensic evidence from the 1996 trial.

Daniel Green was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the 1993 murder of James Jordan, father of NBA legend Michael Jordan.
Judge Gregory Weeks, who presided over the original trial, claims key forensic evidence was not disclosed, potentially impacting the verdict.
The evidence in question involves blood tests from the crime scene that were negative or inconclusive, casting doubt on Green's guilt.
Green maintains his innocence in the murder, admitting only to helping dispose of the body after the fact.
The North Carolina parole commission is expected to deliberate for at least a month on whether to grant Green parole.
