Manhattan pharma millionaire convicted of killing son dies after US Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor denies bail

A Manhattan pharma millionaire was found dead in a Brooklyn apartment just hours after a US Supreme Court justice issued an order that would have sent her back to prison.

Law enforcement sources told the Daily News that Jordan was found dead in an apartment on MacDonough St.

Jordan would have had to return to prison if the justices had considered her case.

A note was found at the scene of Jordan's death. An autopsy is planned by the Medical Examiner's office.

The sad thing is unbelievably sad. Siegel said thatGigi Jordan had a lot to offer. She didn't have the chance to make a difference.

Siegel said he got a call from Jordan around 7:30pm. He called back the next day.

She asked if you called her. I thought it was a butt call. We chuckled.

She sounded like she was having fun. I promised to speak to you soon.

Siegel said he got a call from someone in Jordan's house telling him that the cops were there. It was upsetting and sad.

The Manhattan district attorney argued before the Supreme Court that Jordan's appeal was based on an incident at her trial during which the courtroom was closed for about 15 minutes to hear arguments about email and a web posting.

Bragg's motion stated that the jury was told not to read or listen to any media coverage of the trial after the transcript was released.

The closed proceeding didn't affect any substantive matter before the jury.

The closed proceeding didn't violate Jordan's Sixth Amendment right to a public trial. Jordan was granted bail in her case by a Manhattan federal judge in 2020.

The Supreme Court was weighing in on the case.

The order that was supposed to send Jordan back to prison was reversed after Bragg filed his papers.

Jordan was found guilty of manslaughter in the death of her son at the Peninsula Hotel in New York.

According to prosecutors, Jordan fed her son a cocktail of drugs and alcohol.

Jordan pulled $125,000 from Jude's trust fund while he was dying in the $2,300-a-night suite.

She claimed that it was a murder suicide.

He was sentenced to eighteen years in prison. The Manhattan Supreme Court Judge said that she had all the money in the world to help Jude, but she ended up taking his life.
