Rapper Corey Miller aka C-Murder Guilty of Murder

Rapper Corey Miller, 38 year-old, also known as C-Murder was found guilty on Tuesday of second-degree murder for the shooting a fan, 16 year old, Steve Thomas, during a nightclub fight in 2002.

In 2003, Miller was convicted for the same crime but a judge overturned the conviction and ordered a new trial, agreeing with Miller’s defense team that prosecutors had withheld information about several witnesses.

On the second day of deliberations, the jury reached a 10-2 verdict. The New Orleans, Louisiana jury had reached the same verdict earlier during the day, but Judge Hans Liljeberg ordered them back to the jury room for more deliberation because of an apparent forced changed vote. Judge Liljeberg said after the verdict’s initial reading that one juror had apparently changed her vote just to end deliberations making the verdict invalid. Some jurors were reported seen crying in the courtroom  during the early part of the day.

Miller’s defense attorney Ron Rakosky move for a mistrial on the basis that the judge had pressured the jury into reaching a verdict. Liljeberg denied the motion. "I don’t think I pressured them at all," Liljeberg said. "I told them if they could not reach a verdict to let me know."


Miller is currently serving term in jail while awaiting sentencing for two counts of attempted murder in another nightclub related incidence in Baton Rouge in 2001. His sentencing for the 2001 incident is due at the end of August.


Miller is the brother of rappers Percy "Master P" Miller and Vyshonn "Silkk The Shocker" Miller.

    By his name, C-Murder proved that the positive power of attraction does work by attracting to himself what his name subconsciously manifested “MURDER”.

    “Live by the sword, die by the sword” – a popular metaphorical Biblical expression meaning that an idiot living his life in a certain dumb way will, in the end perish by that way.
