"U.S. District Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall overturned the conviction against Jordan, writing in her 29-page ruling that there wasn't enough evidence the killing was drug-related."
"Hall on Monday found that Jordan successfully rebutted the presumption that he should be detained while those other charges are pending."
"The package includes 17 suretors, many of them family members, putting up a total of $1 million."
"The government, however, signaled that it is likely to appeal her ruling granting bail to Jordan."
Karl Jordan Jr. is nearing freedom after a judge approved his bail package following the reversal of his conviction for the 2002 murder of Jam Master Jay. U.S. District Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall overturned the conviction due to insufficient evidence linking the murder to drug activity. Jordan, facing separate cocaine distribution and conspiracy charges, successfully rebutted the presumption of detention. The bail package includes 17 suretors, totaling $1 million, but the government is likely to appeal the ruling granting bail.
