US rapper C-Murder, aka Corey Miller, has been released from house arrest despite accusations that he had broken the conditions of his home confinement on several occasions. As previously reported, Miller was recently released from prison after new evidence came to light in the case that saw the hip-hopper found guilty of killing sixteen year old Steven Thomas outside a Louisiana nightclub back in 2002.
In court last week Judge Martha Sassone denied prosecution requests that Miller be jailed, and said she felt confident that he had not violated the conditions of his release. Sassone went on to relax those conditions, although Miller will still be closely monitored. He must be at home between the hours of 10pm and 6am, he is barred from drinking and going to bars, and visitors to his home have been restricted.
Whether C-Murder will be brought to court again over the 2002 killing remains to be seen. In March the Louisiana Supreme Court overturned the rapper's conviction and ordered a new trial, but it's now up to prosecutors to decide if they want to return to court.
