  • Five-part series also looks at culture, corruption and racial tension in Robeson County, NC.
  • Daniel Green, serving life in prison for the murder of James Jordan, is trying to get a new trial.

In August 1993, the sheriff in Robeson County, North Carolina, had his deputies parade Daniel Green and Larry Demery in handcuffs past news cameras at the county courthouse in Lumberton, where they faced murder charges for the death of basketball star Michael Jordan’s father, James Jordan. 

A reporter asked Green if he had anything to say to the Jordan family.
