Jam Master Jay Trial Opens Two Decades After Run-DMC DJ’s Killing
The trial for two men indicted for the death of Run-DMC's DJ, Jam Master Jay, began with opening statements on Monday in Brooklyn.
Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall is presiding over the cases of Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington, the two men the U.S. government has indicted in the murder of the DJ, whose real name was Jason Mizell. Law enforcement witnesses also took the stand on Monday, starting with retired NYPD Detective James Lusk, a tall man with graying hair and a goatee who was working at the 103rd precinct when he and other officers learned of the shooting. Prosecution presented an idea of what a security monitor would have shown that night, with a split screen showing the street, fire escape, hall, and entryway, but said they didn’t have footage from the VCR.
