Hi I am a long time friend of Mark and just wanted to say this man was once a boy who was and i believe still is a wonderful, loving person. Did he commit robbery at 17? Yes. But he has also served 15 years in prison which is not usual considering his age and the fact no one was hurt. I am in my 70's and hope to see mark with his family once again and hope and pray he gets a new trial to prove his innocence.I am tired of hearing so much negative when there are so many positive things about mark. I remember when mark was younger he would walk around for hours collecting food for homeless people or families who wouldnt have a meal on holidays,and then surprise these families for the holidays.He would shovel snow for hours free of charge so that seniors around the neighborhood wouldn't have to go outside and do it. I just needed to let people know this man is not the monster some make him out to be and in my opinion " innocent ".

There is no doubt in my mind that Mr. Jordan is innocent. I was reading his website jordanlitigation.com and learned alot of details that i never knew before.How this jury found him guilty still blows my mind.I think the workers from the bop know much more about that day then they are saying, also it seems to amaze me how cameras in the most secure prison in the country just so happen to change views while the stabbing took place.Give me a break!! Probly a set up of some sort.It also says bloody glove was found near a set of bleachers where "it has been proven Mark Jordan was no where near".There are just way to many facts that prove him innocent and i believe the truth will be told one day.But until that day Mr Jordan should be a free man.Whats there to hide?Give him the DNA test requested.

Why did the government wait so many years ? This man should be free.If the government would of did proper DNA testing from the very beginning he may have never been charged with murder.It may have cleared his name.They knew exactly what they were doing and wanted time to go by as long as possible so any evidence that would prove his innocence would no longer be able to be tested.Good Luck My heart goes out to you.It really makes me mad when i hear stories about people who go to prison for most of their life with such burden of proof and then i see cases on people who do like 7 years for murder and they admit to it ,come out do it again,kill children,rape babies and its not until then that they get sentenced to the same time you were sentenced to and you never got a second chance in life,you didnt go in for murder you should have already been out of prison.Why not give you a new trial?The first one was not fair,The prosecution submitted all evidence they chose to,but it seems like you weren't allowed to submit your proof of innocence!! Mr. President Obama i voted for you because of your interest for the average person.Please help this young man.

The more i hear about this Sean Riker, The more i believe in Mr Jordan's innocence.A man that can put a shotgun to his own baby's head and beat his wife and children is a man that is capable of murder and this case should be reviewed and witnesses should be questioned again because it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out there are many people caught up in lies just to pin this on jordan.I truly believe Mark Jordan is innocent and wish him the best and hope one day soon he will be cleared of this and move on with his life,enjoy the time with his family.If he has children im sure he will be a great father to them and be greatful that god gave him a chance to be with them. Not put a shotgun to their head!!! Stay Strong!!

if you know, please pass on the information

 Any new info?

Has it totally escaped everyone's attention that Jordan is ON FILM as running after the stabbing victim, had blood on his body, AND IS SEEN THROWING THE SHANK ONTO THE ROOF while calmly walking away from the scene???  The same shank was recovered by correctional officers.  An innocent man doesn't hold the shank, and later dispose of it.  The inmate he blamed as the actual murderer was seen leaving the scene LONG before the stabbing happened.  THIS IS ALL ON FILM FROM A SECURITY CAMERA folks.  Anyone can claim innocence, but what you can see on tape is the FACT.

Thanks to everyone for their positive comments and support. And a special thanks to those who made it to the oral argument. Unfortunately, the Federal Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's denial of my motion to permit DNA testing of the murder weapon under the Innocence Protection Act. LINK?. The court reasoned that even if someone else's DNA is foundon the wapon, such as the DNA of Sean Riker, that would prove only that Riker handled the weapon at some time (Riker actually denies ever handling the weapon), and will not prove that I am innocent. The court basically interpreted the Innocence Protection Act very narroly to permit DNA testing only where the results will prove conslsively exonerating. A copy of all proceedings in this case under the IPA, including the appeal court's February 11, 2010 order, can be found on jordanlitigation.com on the "Criminal Litigation" page, under "Pending Innocence Protection Action Proceedings". LINK?
I also want to separately address the sorely misinformend June 16, 2010 comments posted my "Hmmm". First, as to what is or is not "ON FILM", the video evidence used at trial is now availabe to the public at jordanlitigation.com, on the "Criminal Litigation" page, under "Section II. Trial and Sentencing In District Court". We hope to also have the entire trial transcrips posted very soon.
While it is not at all clear from that video, I did manage to get ahold of the murder weapon immediately after BOP/FBI confidential informant Sean Riker stabbed the victim, my former cellmate and friend. I did then run behind the victim - between him and his assailant - after he was stabbed by Riker. Although not on video, which mysterioulsy skips over this activity, I did throw the murder weapon on a rooftop and run to a Bureau of Prison' Lieutenant to assist the victim, Davin Brian Stone, who died later that day. Further contrary to the commenter's misstatements, the actual assailant, Sean Riker, was not "seen leaving the scene long before the stabbing happened". Indeed, the video places him with the victim minutes prior to his assault and the government's own star witness, Gary Collins, a fellow gang associate of Riker, testified to Riker's presence at the time of the stabbing.
I cannot fathom how this commenter could have gotten so wrong such demonstrative facts concerning what the video evidence does/doesn't depict, or why the commenter would incorporate such factual misstatement to tarnish my case for justice. Please review the video. LINK? Which should be available any day now @ jordanlitigation.com
I encourage that commenter to also review my proposed trial testimony at pages 105-112 of "Jordan's Amended Motion to Vacate" ?, which is pending before the court and available at jordanlitigation.com, on the "Criminal Litigation" page, under "Section VI. Pending Motion To Vacate Conviction". All of the evidence, save the perjured testimony of two jailhouse rats, one of whom has since recanted, is entirely consistent with my proposed trial testimony, my not assaulting anyone.
Finally, I remind that commenter that Federal Judge Lewis Babcock refused to allow my defense to call Sean Riker to the stand in my defense, as a witness, to ask him whether and why he in fact stabbed the victim. The basis for Judge Babcock's refusal was that my doing so "would confuse the jury".
It is clear to me that justice in my case will not be administered by the courts or by way of my release. I expect only that my innocence, my wrongful conviction, my be proven publicly and that the public will administer justice in grater awareness, progressive changes in the criminal justice system, and the prevention of further wrongful convictions. It may be too late for me, but it is not too late for change. There, will I find my justice.
