A Mississippi man spent 940 days in jail waiting for a trial that never came
Sinatra Jordan stepped out the glass doors of the Raymond Detention Center and headed toward his father’s waiting car. It had been 940 days, and he wasn’t going to linger.
Jordan, 32, was dressed in the same blue T-shirt and dark denim shorts he’d been wearing when he was brought to the jail on Aug. 15, 2022, accused of starting a car chase and firing at police. Jordan insisted that he did not have a weapon. He said the officers had shot into his car without provocation, a bullet striking his friend in the passenger seat — a mother of five who was left seriously wounded.
