"I knew a gun was going to be used to shoot Jason Mizell, Bryant told a federal magistrate. I knew that what I was doing was wrong and a crime."
"Bryant's admission brings some closure but also adds complexity to a twisty case. Bryant didn't name the other people with whom he acted."
"Mizell handled the turntables in Run-DMC, a path-breaking trio he formed with friends Darryl DMC McDaniels and Joseph Simmons, known as DJ Run and Rev Run."
"Run-DMC was the first rap group with gold- and platinum-selling albums, a Rolling Stone cover and a video on MTV."
Jay Bryant admitted in court to his involvement in the murder of Jam Master Jay, stating he helped others ambush the DJ. He acknowledged knowing a gun would be used and that his actions were criminal. This admission complicates the case, as two other men were previously convicted, but one was cleared. Bryant faces a potential sentence of 15 to 20 years for the murder, along with other charges. Jam Master Jay was a pivotal figure in hip-hop, known for his work with Run-DMC and mentoring other artists.
