- Thread starter Mac_Ro
- Start date
b4 ppl are quick to jump to conclusions after the verdict was given, "LOOK" at the facts presented in this case. it sure looks suspect. read about one of the jurors changing their vote the last minute just to get the case over with. look at the prosecution team making deals with two witnesses to testify against C.....
does any of the evidence really point towards C?? there was no guns/ballistics test etc... that pointed towards C... check out the 911 calls the night of the murder. no one said a thing about C being the killer....hopefully the appeals will get his sentenced reduced, or maybe even allow him to walk free in the near future...

In September 2003, Miller was convicted for the 2002 beating and fatal shooting of a fan, 16-year-old Steve Thomas, at a Harvey, Louisiana nightclub, however Presiding Judge Martha Sassone granted a new trial based on the claim that prosecutors improperly withheld criminal background information on three of their witnesses.
While awaiting re-trial Miller was placed under house arrest. Sassone allowed Miller to promote his new yet to be titled CD and novel, Death Around the Corner, while under house arrest, but ruled that a gag order pertaining to the case would remain in effect. The terms of the house arrest required Sassone's permission for all visitors, including reporters.
On March 13, 2007, Judge Sassone granted Miller's request to work on his music career on a per request basis, but denied his request for a 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. curfew. His seventh studio album Screamin' 4 Vengeance, was finally released in stores on July 1, 2008.
Sassone's rulings in the case became an issue in her failed 2008 bid for re-election. Sassone was defeated by Judge Ellen Kovach; prosecutors subsequently renewed a request to have Miller returned to jail.
As of January 2009, Corey Miller was confined to his residence on house arrest, and may only leave for a documented medical emergency.
On May 27, 2009, Corey Miller pled No-Contest to two counts of attempted second degree murder. These charges stem from a 2001 incident in Baton Rouge, LA in which Miller fired shots from a semi-automatic pistol at the owner and bouncer of a night club who refused to allow Miller to enter the business with the gun. Miller was sentenced to ten years with credit for time served. An alleged surveillance video of the incident was posted on AllHipHop.com.
On August 5, 2009, the murder trial began. The father of the victim, Steve Thomas, spoke on his son, Steve, being a huge fan of C-Murder before the incident. A bouncer had also testified against C-Murder claiming to have witnessed every moment of the shooting, he says he fears for repercussions of testifying and prosecutors have also made claims of C-Murder's associates threatening many other witnesses from this case. On August 11, 2009, the original jury verdict of guilty was dismissed by the judge, because it had taken only 3 hours to conclude. He told the jury to go back and deliberate on the case longer as it was a serious case. When they came back, with the same verdict, C-Murder was convicted of second-degree murder charges. He now faces a mandatory life imprisonment sentence.
