Ronald Washington and Karl Jordan were convicted in a Brooklyn federal court for the 2002 murder of Jason Mizell, known as Jam Master Jay of Run-DMC. The conviction stemmed from a narcotics dispute after Mizell sought to cut Washington out of a drug deal. On October 30, 2002, the duo entered Mizell's studio and fatally shot him. Despite a lack of physical evidence and a 21-year-old cold case, emotional testimonies led to their conviction, emphasizing the potential violence stemming from narcotics-related conflicts.
The evidence presented in the case was strong yet challenged by defense attorneys, highlighting the complexities of solving cold cases with long-standing gaps in physical evidence.
Culminating in a jury conviction, the trial underscores the dangers of narcotics-related disputes and the tragic outcomes they can lead to.
