Hooped Up

A Pennsylvania woman who claims Michael Jordan fathered her son has been ordered to have a psychological evaluation and promise to comply with a court order.

Lisa Miceli of Meadville is accused of violating a court order that barred her from contacting the former NBA star, his family or his representatives.

Jordan sued Miceli this year to enforce a 2005 agreement that required her to stop contacting him after two DNA tests proved he wasn’t the boy’s father.

Jordan’s attorneys say Miceli violated the deal.

Miceli’s attorney, Robert Garber, says she is committed to complying with a Crawford County judge’s order. The judge says if Miceli hasn’t had a psychological evaluation by Aug. 13, she would begin serving two to six months in jail.

An error in sentencing is keeping one of the two men convicted in the killing of Michael Jordan’s father from seeking parole, according to the Associated Press.

Larry Martin Demery was given a life sentence after the July 1993 shooting of James Jordan, and also received time in prison for another conviction. Therein lies the issue.

“Case law now says the remedy is to withdraw the guilty plea and renegotiate a new sentence or have a new trial,” Attorney Hugh Rogers told the AP on Monday. “We’re not looking for trials, but hopefully we can set aside the convictions, enter a new plea and we’ll be looking at one life sentence.”

NBA legend Michael Jordan has donated half a million dollars for a new Boys and Girls Club Gym in Slidell, New Orleans, according to The Times-Picayune.

The announcement and ceremony took place on Thursday.
