"Jordan was hospitalized after being stabbed during a melee at MDC in February 2025, NBC News reported at the time. It is unclear whether Hall was referring to the same attack. The Federal Bureau of Prisons did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment. The heartfelt exchange came as Hall ordered Jordan to remain behind bars - despite having his murder case overturned - pending separate drug-related charges."
"Jordan's conviction was overturned after Hall ruled there was not enough evidence to say he had a motive to kill his legendary DJ godfather, Jam Master Jay, whose real name is Jason Mizell. He was convicted alongside Ronald Washington by a jury in February 2024 of murdering Mizell inside his Queens music studio more than 20 years ago in revenge over a botched drug deal."
Judge LaShaan DeArcy Hall told Karl Jordan Jr. she was "genuinely saddened" to learn he had been assaulted while in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center. Jordan was hospitalized after a stabbing during a melee in February 2025, though it is unclear if Hall referenced that specific attack. Hall ordered Jordan to remain detained on separate drug-related charges despite his murder conviction being overturned in December. Jordan has been jailed since September 2020. Hall ruled prosecutors failed to prove a motive linking Jordan to the 2002 killing of Jam Master Jay, Jason Mizell.
