Posted by ChasinDatPaper on May 21, 2010 at 5:30am


Being locked up isn't stopping New Orleans rapper C-Murder from working on his craft.

According to BallerStatus he will be dropping his ninth studio album titled 'Tomorrow' on June 15. The album was recorded while the MC was last on house arrest and retains "the gritty edge that won C-Murder fans in New Orleans and all over the world."

Murder, real name Corey Miller is the brother of businessman/rapper/actor Percy "Master P" Miller. He is serving a sentence of life in prison afer being convicted of second-degree murder in the death of 16-year-old fan Steve Thomas at a now-closed nightclub in Harvey, Louisiana.

The trial was marked by controversy amid accusations that District Judge Hans Liljeberg forced the jury to keep deliberating after they reached a 10-2 verdict because one of the jurors reportedly voted to convict because she felt pressured.

Only 10 votes are needed for conviction in a second degree murder case.

Miller is currently working on an appeal.

C-Murder Pleads No Contest In Murder Trial : Will Be Sentenced To Ten Years In Prison

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on May 27, 2009 at 4:54pm

Rapper Corey "C-Murder" Miller has reportedly pleaded "no contest" to attempted murder charges and will be sentenced to ten years in prison. The decision was made Wednesday (May 27) afternoon. Rapper C-Murder has pleaded no contest to two counts of attempted second-degree murder. In the plea agreement, C-Murder, whose real name is Corey Miller, will be sentenced by the judge to 10 years in prison. The formal sentencing will be August 25th. (WAFB News) While the initial jury selection process began yesterday (May 26), jurors had not yet been chosen. Jury selection finally got under way Tuesday in Miller's attempted murder trial, nearly eight years after the rapper allegedly tried to shoot two men at a Baton Rouge nightclub. In the Baton Rouge case, Miller is accused of trying to shoot the owner of Club Raggs and a bouncer. Jury selection will resume today. No jurors were picked Tuesday. Three dozen of the nearly 50 potential jurors being questioned said they have heard of Corey Miller. The trial is expected to last until Friday,state District Judge Tony Marabella said. (2TheAdvocate) A majority of the potential jurors were familiar with the rapper which caused an extended jury-selection process. Judge Tony Marabella of the 19th Judicial District greeted about 45 prospective jurors. And then Marabella asked whether anyone knew the defendant, Corey Miller. "Mr. Miller is a rap artist, or a hip-hop artist, if the terminology is correct," Marabella said. "He sometimes goes by C-Miller. He sometimes goes by C-Murder." In the crowded courtroom, 37 people raised their hands, setting in motion an extended jury-selection process that is scheduled to resume Wednesday. (The Times-Picayune) The attempted murder lawsuit was initially placed on hold for a later date. A Baton Rouge judge has placed on hold a nightclub owner's lawsuit against Miller until a murder charge against Miller is resolved in Jefferson Parish. He is accused of trying to shoot two men, including the owner of Club Raggs, in August 2001. Club Raggs owner Norman Sparrow sued Miller for damages after the alleged incident. Miller faces attempted second-degree murder charges in Baton Rouge and a second-degree murder charge in Jefferson. State District Judge Kay Bates said the stay is necessary to protect Miller's constitutional right against self-incrimination. (Nola News)

Attempted Murder Case Begins for C-Murder

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on May 27, 2009 at 3:45pm

Yesterday (May 26), court proceedings began for C-Murder (Corey Miller) on attempted second-degree murder charges. Prosecutors allege the New Orleans rapper tried to kill a bouncer and the owner of a Baton Rouge nightclub in August 2001. The constant delays in the case were due to the East Baton Rouge district attorney’s office. Because of Miller’s upcoming, high-profile murder case in Jefferson Parish, East Baton Rouge prosecutors waited until the rapper’s appeal attempt was decided. According to court documents, the near-fatal encounter occurred when Miller refused to be searched before entering Club Raggs. After a brief argument, the rapper attempted to fire a semi-automatic pistol at the club owner and a bouncer. The shooting was averted when the weapon unexpectedly jammed. On August 3, Miller will begin a retrial on second-degree murder charges for the shooting death of 16-year old Steve Thomas at a Harvey club. The former No Limit solider was granted a retrial from his 2003 conviction, after an appeal revealed prosecutors failed to disclose the criminal background of 3 eyewitnesses. C-Murder’s posted $1 million bond requires him to remain under house arrest, with exceptions made for court appearances. The second-degree attempted murder case is scheduled to end tomorrow (May 28).
