Testimony Clouds Case

A man charged with murdering Michael Jordan’s father was interrogated for hours before his Miranda rights were read, and then he stopped talking, an investigator testified.

The testimony came during a hearing in Robeson County Superior Court to keep out of evidence the statement made by Daniel Andre Green on Aug. 14-15, 1993.

A former sheriff’s department investigator testified that he regarded Green as a suspect and hoped to charge him for murder when he first went to Green’s residence.

During the interrogation that started around midnight and ended 4 to 4-1/2 hours later, Art Binder testified, Green was lied to several times in an attempt to get him to tell the truth.
