And it's a pretty good detail. Frank was very specific that it was a UVA-UNC game, though he couldn't recall the date. They were only on that cell block together for a few weeks, and there was in fact a UVA-UNC basketball game during that time period that would have been on television. He testified that Franklin was furious about the incident and spent days fuming about it.

The two inmates were walking together in the exercise area a few days later when Franklin spotted that same guard again and turned to Frank and said, I'd like to blow him away like I shot that inward bigwig in Indiana.

Frank says he also lamented that Jordan just wouldn't die after being shot and that he was sorry I didn't shoot that white slut first, referring to the white woman who'd given Jordan a ride that night. Frank was one of three jailhouse informants the government put on during that trial.

Years later, on death row for a variety of other murders, Franklin did confess to shooting Vernon Jordan. When the trial was over, though, jurors who spoke to the press said they'd only believed one of the three jailhouse informants who testified. Frank.

He wasn't getting paid. But he wasn't upset. He didn't need the money. He'd inherited a quarter of a million dollars, which would be about a million dollars today, when his parents died. All he wanted was witness protection and a positive letter to the New Jersey Parole Board.
