Corey Miller, AKA C-Murder has had his latest appeal rejected by the Louisiana Court Of Appeals. He now has thirty days to appeal to the Louisiana Supreme Court.
As previously reported, the US rapper is currently serving a life-sentence for the murder of sixteen year old Steve Thomas outside a New Orleans night club. Earlier in the month C-Murder made headlines over the story that he had been smuggling lyrics out of prison hidden in pens as well as recording videos without
Guards permission.
C-Murder feels that the negative publicity generated by the pen ban enforced against his lawyer Ron Rakosky by Sheriff Harry Lee may have unfairly influenced the courts, saying: "I think all of that plays a part, 100 percent. You've got that sheriff on TV saying he wants revenge. How can I win when it comes to a decision that determines my life?"
Rakosky, meanwhile, has laughed off the suggestions of smuggling: "First of all, nothing that I did was illegal and involved sneaking anything in or out of the jail, so all of these rules having to do with extra scrutiny with me are really irrelevant. Everything we did involving the recording of that album was done on the up-and-up with the deputies walking by and it was really a reaction by a sheriff who was embarrassed by the whole scenario."
