RALEIGH, N.C. -- A North Carolina judge won't allow a man convicted of murdering Michael Jordan's father in 1993 to proceed with an effort to prove his innocence, according to court documents.
Judge Winston Gilchrist informed lawyers Wednesday that he would deny Daniel Green's request for an evidentiary hearing that could have led to a new trial, according to a filing in the case this week. Gilchrist told the lawyers his written order was forthcoming.
An attorney for Green, Chris Mumma, has filed a motion asking the judge to reconsider so new testimony from Green's co-defendant can be heard.
