That means he could walk free any day now, but drug charges are holding him back while prosecutors mull and appeal this week.

Jordan's family showed up strong, 17 of them co-signing the bond and putting up $525,000 in southern, properties. He's been under electronic monitoring if released, and the judge straight warned him and his crew to stay clean, no games. Here's a pushing back on the acquittal, and might fight the bond too, calling him a flight risk even after he got stabbed bad in jail last year.
