Queens DA Rejected Jam Master Jay Eyewitness Testimony


This week Karl Jordan and Ronald Washington were indicted on murder charges in the 2002 assassination of Run DMC DJ Jam Master Jay inside his Queens recording studio [click here if you missed that].

Turns out eyewitness testimony has been available for 18 years...

From NY Daily News
Cops found the information given by the witness implicating at least one of the two men charged with the murder Monday to be solid, but the Queens DA balked at the idea of charging the crime on the word of a single witness, the source said.
The case began moving again once it was picked up by Federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York.

Jordan and Washington, both close associates of Jam Master Jay, are charged with murder and conspiracy to distribute cocaine.
