"Brooklyn Federal Judge LaShaan DeArcy Hall said she was "genuinely saddened" to hear that Karl Jordan Jr. was assaulted at MDC during a court hearing on Wednesday. "I was genuinely saddened to hear of the assault that happened to you. That should have never happened. It looks like you are on the mend," Hall told Jordan, whose conviction for murdering Run-DMS's Jam Master Jay was overturned in December."
"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."
Brooklyn Federal Judge LaShaan DeArcy Hall expressed sorrow that Karl Jordan Jr. was assaulted and stabbed while detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center, noting he appeared to be recovering. Jordan was hospitalized after the attack during a melee in February 2025, though it was unclear whether the judge referred to that incident. The judge ordered Jordan to remain in custody pending separate drug-related charges despite his murder conviction being overturned for lack of evidence of motive. Jordan had been convicted in February 2024 alongside Ronald Washington in the killing of Jam Master Jay; his lawyers plan to file a bail application next week.
