The car and some jewelry were stolen. And Jordan Sr.’s body dumped into a swampy river.
It would take authorities days to recover his body. And longer still before his identity would be confirmed.
Larry Demery and Daniel Green were arrested, tried, and in 1996, convicted in the murder. Demery fingered Green as the trigger man, and both men were sentenced to life in prison.

The Division of Parole’s consideration doesn’t come with any guarantees. The state’s sentencing law eliminated parole for crimes committed on or after Oct. 1, 1994, but must consider parole for offenders of crimes committed before that time.

In 1993 Oprah Winfrey asked Michael Jordan if he would ever sit down with his father’s killers if given the chance, ”I don’t want to know. Because it probably would hurt me even more just to know their reasons. Because if it is, it’s going to be totally meaningless for the reasons…It’s better that I don’t know.”
