US rapper Corey Miller (formerly known as C-Murder, though he dropped that moniker after being, erm, convicted of murder) has pissed off the judge overseeing his house arrest by showing up at the New Orleans premiere of a new Spike Lee documentary about Hurricane Katrina.
Miller has been under house arrest since his conviction for murder was overturned earlier this year, and will remain so until a retrial is arranged (although his original conviction was declared flawed, he hasn't been found innocent of the charges as yet, and a new trial now needs to take place).
The conditions of that house arrest have changed a bit over the months, and at one point he was free to leave his home during the daytime, though objections raised to that freedom mean he is now again confined to his home accept for weekly visits to church. Either way, the liberties the court have granted him certainly don't stretch to nights out at film premieres. Or, as State District Judge Martha Sassone put it: "You're on home incarceration to prepare for a defence, not to have a social life". Miller's appearance at the awards (which was caught on TV footage of the red carpet event) means any previous privilidges granted to the rapper will now be withdrawn, pending the retrial.
As previously reported on many an occasion, Miller is acused of shooting dead a 16 year old boy outside a nightclub in 2002. His original conviction for the crime was overturned after a judge ruled prosecutors were wrong to not reveal the criminal backgrounds of certain witnesses key to their case against Miller.
