Convictions in Death of Chris Paul's Grandfather Tossed by Judge
A North Carolina trial judge recently overturned the convictions of four men implicated in the 2002 death of NBA star Chris Paul's grandfather, Nathaniel Jones, citing recanted testimony, poor legal representation, and new DNA evidence. This ruling, which dismissed the convictions, has prompted state attorneys to review their options, including a potential appeal. Paul, a 12-time NBA All-Star who plays for the Los Angeles Clippers, was a high school athlete in Winston-Salem at the time of the incident.
