C-Murder, born Corey Miller, is going to be tried again. He is being charged, once again, for second-degree murder. According to The Associated Press, the trial date is set for February 11, 2008.
This all stems from an incident in 2002, where Murder was accused of shooting a 16 year old, Steve Thomas. This occurred in a Louisiana nightclub.
In 2003, Miller was convicted, but the conviction was thrown out in 2006 when prosecutors withheld vital information pertaining to the criminal backgrounds of witnesses from Murder's attorneys.
When the conviction was thrown out, Miller's attorney Ron Rakosky spoke on the matter.
"[From] the very beginning of this case, there has never been any credible evidence that Corey Miller was guilty of this crime, and four years later I don't know of a single shred of evidence that implicates him with this crime," Rakosky told the New Orleans Times-Picayune last year.
Now, Miller is being charged again. If convicted, the rapper will be faced with a mandatory life sentence without parole.
