[@medhtebrahim3276]

​@metalhead6663190 that is kind of a dumb comment

[@NoneOfUrBizOk]

U do know James Jordan took his own daughters virginity and raped her for years and when she told her mom after her mom called her a slut and told her that she better not get pregnant and bring any bastard children into her house, she said well if I'm such a slut then why don't u keep ur husband outta my bed and when his mom confronted their dad he CONFESSED and their mom told her daughter that this is not to be brought up again and even threatened to put her in a girls home smfh. Her daughter wrote about all this in her book called "in my family's shadow" if u don't believe me just Google it and u can read the page right outta the book right there on Reddit. His own freaking daughter smfh 🤮🤮🤮. I was a HUGE MJ and Bulls fan from '87 on but am certainly no fan of either of his parents.

[@quinny6920]

I vaguely remember this case but you brought more to the story. It is very sad story.

[@ASpectacular3777]

Back in the 1990s, I was on the Eisenhower expressway driving into downtown Chicago in my 1988 White Porsche 944S to my job when all of a sudden I heard a driver next to me go “beep beep” I looked over and it was a very tall man with a golf cap on driving his white Porsche Carrera convertible with the top down. I looked over at him, he tipped his hat and smiled at me. I smiled back as I thought, wow, that guy looks like Michael Jordan. After he advanced, sure enough only 4 letters on the back of his license plate: MJ JJ. (Michael Jordan/Juanita Jordan). Just two Porsche owners saying hello to each other. Gave me a thrill to last a lifetime as I went to many a Bulls game at the United Center here in Chicago. Michael is not only a wonderfully skilled player, but seems an overall kind person. I am so sorry for what happened to his dear Father. Thank you for telling us the story, Scott.

Im from the UK so its harder for me to imagine the scale of your trips from state to state as our little island is tiny in comparison. Amazing work my friend.

I gotta give it to you my guy your heart and dedication to these videos no matter if they're heavy or light hearted and funny are inspiring. You and what you make are truly appreciated scott!

[@matthewdavenport2490]

Thanks for this video. I live in eastern NC (Greenville) and was in college when this happened. I've been an attorney for the past 23 years here, and started as a prosecutor--I say that because I got to know a couple of the prosecutors in Robeson County (where more murder cases are always filling the court calendar than any other district) who handled the Demery and Green cases. They were prosecuted under NC's felony murder statute--if someone is killed during the commission of a felony, it is first degree murder. And under the acting in concert rule, it doesn't matter who pulled the trigger--if two people were "acting in concert" to commit a crime, each individual who commits elements of an offense both commit together can be prosecuted the same. For offenses in 1993, there was still parole after 20 years for life sentences, which is why the eligibility. For offenses since 1994, life in prison carries no possibility of parole. The Supreme Court has subsequently ruled that individuals under 18 at the time of the offense cannot be automatically given life sentences, so Demery (who was 17) was resentenced (so it was not due to an error at the time but a subsequent change in law). Incidentally, as a long-time follower, it's always good to have you in NC (you were only a half hour from me when you and Adam did the Pepsi museum in New Bern).

[@RickPersons]

Matthewdavenport2490, obviously you are not aware that the "acting in concert rule" was waived by DA Johnson Britt who prosecuted this case. He presented evidence that Daniel Green and Daniel Green alone pulled the trigger that killed James Jordan. Larry Demery testified that he was merely an accessory after the fact. The jury subsequently found Daniel Green guilty of felony murder, however, when deciding on the sentencing they only found Green guilty of "reckless disregard of human life." They didn't believe the prosecution put on enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Daniel Green was the lone killer. Meaning, they didn't believe Larry Demery's testimony. Therefore, the jury verdict was unlawful. It is what Daniel Green is currently being prevented by Judge Winston Gilchrist from presenting in an evidentiary hearing. I believe if given that opportunity Green would prove not only ineffective assistance of counsel, but prosecutorial misconduct and newly found evidence all grounds for being granted a new trial.

God bless Michael's family. There's nothing worse than losing a parent, except losing a child,but then, we are all someone's child, aren't we. Losing his father was hard enough, but losing him due to a heinous crime is not only heart-wrenching but despicable. I just can't wrap my head around these types of crimes. It breaks my heart every time this occurs. Thank you, Scott, for honoring Michael's father. I'm sure he and his family appreciate your kindness and how respectful you are in what you do. I know it has to be hard on you, too. God bless you too, and thank you. Hugs to you❤

[@michellenainkristinabusch1221]

As a Chicago native, growing up in the 90's, It was a fun time with the Bulls. Absolutely tragic situation for the Jordan family and loved ones.

[@skyangelthefan]

I agree 🙌👍🙌. The Bulls and The Bears when “The Fridge” was playing were exciting sports times.

[@michellenainkristinabusch1221]

@skyangelthefan very much so. Much like the 2010's with the Blackhawks.

[@Shawn-Leider]

It’s so strange thinking everyone in the world basically was a bulls fan during Jordan’s era. I mean other fans were out there, but fans really probably couldn’t completely connect on forums and stuff outside actual events and sports bars like now. So the whole world was just sort of a Jordan fan. I caught some of his run very young. And how every kid in the world seemed to love mj. Everyone wanted to mj people fought over who had to be pippen. People try to say Lebron is better than mj are wild. Mj was poetry on the court. He was magic. He was pure athleticism to the point of it basically being poetry. Lebron is amazing but he’s not mj. His mechanics are very robot like compared to mjs finesse. Lebron sorta dominates thru relationships and his perfect frame. He could whip past anyone during a hand check league. Where people could hold u back. I couldn’t even imagine what he could do in todays league

Scott, this is a very well done video. I appreciate the attention to detail. I've followed this event from day one, and even have been to most of those locations.
