More from the rap courts, and a date has been set for the retrial of rapper C-Murder who still stands accused of second degree murder in relation to that much previously reported incident in 2002 when a sixteen year old was shot at a Louisiana nightclub.
As previously reported, C-Murder, real name Corey Miller, is accused of shooting dead teenager Steve Thomas outside a nightclub in 2002. He was found guilty of the killing and jailed, but the original conviction was overturned after a judge ruled prosecutors were wrong to not reveal the criminal backgrounds of certain witnesses key to their case against Miller.
Since being let out of jail Miller has been under house arrest awaiting retrial. The Associated Press yesterday reported that a date for said retrial has now been set - it will kick off on 11 Feb next year. Let's hope that doesn't clash with the Phil Spector retrial - I'm not sure the CMU murder team could cope with two high profile cases at the same time.
Miller faces a life sentence without parole if found guilty of the murder second time round.
