"Prosecutors say Jay Bryant let the killers into the Queens studio in 2002. He is expected back in federal court Monday afternoon, where he could change his plea."
"Federal prosecutors say advances in technology later identified Bryant's DNA at the scene. They believe he opened the back door to Jason Mizell's Jamaica, Queens, studio, allowing Jordan and Washington inside."
"Bryant had been expected to go to trial this year in the federal drug conspiracy case tied to the murder. Two weeks ago, his attorney filed notice that the 52-year-old would accept a plea deal."
Jay Bryant, charged in the murder of Jam Master Jay, is expected to plead guilty in federal court. Prosecutors allege he allowed the killers into the studio in 2002. Bryant was initially set for trial in a drug conspiracy case related to the murder. Recent DNA evidence linked him to the crime scene. His plea hearing is separate from ongoing proceedings involving co-defendants Karl Jordan Jr. and Tinard Washington, who are facing their own trials and appeals.
