2 men guilty on all counts in Jam Master Jay murder trial
A jury has found two men accused in the 2002 murder of Run-DMC star Jam Master Jay at a New York City recording studio guilty of all counts.
The verdict was read Tuesday afternoon against Ronald Washington, a childhood friend, and Karl Jordan Jr., the DJ's godson. The duo was found guilty on charges of murder while engaged in a narcotics trafficking conspiracy and firearm-related murder for killing the pioneering DJ over what prosecutors characterized as revenge for a failed drug deal.

So sad the family had to wait 22 years to get this justice.
Rest in power, Jay.
