C-Murder denied for third time to appeal murder conviction by Louisiana Supreme Court

Corey Miller, known to hip-hop fans as C-Murder, has sought to have his murder conviction overturned for the third time, and like the previous two times, the court has once again denied his request.

According to WVUEthe Louisiana Supreme Court has done rejected the No Limit Records soldier in his quest to appeal his murder conviction as he has claimed his innocence since he was accused in 2002. He was given a life sentence for killing 16-year-old Steven Thomas in a Harvey nightclub. He was charged with second-degree murder.

He challenged the conviction several times, but an appeals court and the state Supreme Court upheld it twice, in 2011 and 2012. The 54-year-old tried again after two witnesses during the murder investigation recanted their testimony and claims about DNA evidence, warranting that the conviction should be overturned or at least given a new hearing.

All seven judges disagreed and unanimously voted to uphold the conviction on February 3.

“Applicant has previously exhausted his right to state collateral examination and fails to show that any exception would permit his successive filing,” the state Supreme Court wrote in its decision.

Nearly three years ago, reality TV mainstay Kim Kardashian attempted to get him a new trial. She posted an impassioned plea to have the case retried, based on information she gathered in August 2023 in support of C-Murder.

“Corey Miller spent 21 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, and his conviction was based entirely on the testimony of two men whom the state brought to trial solely on material witness warrants. These men have now sworn that their previous testimonies were untrue. There is no evidence left to even suggest that Corey Miller is more guilty than the hundreds of customers who were at the Platinum Club on January 12, 2002, when Steve Thomas was tragically killed. shot.”

Although she tried her best, the post at the time didn’t get him any closer to a tie or a look from the court.
