Prosecutors in C-Murder's upcoming retrial for murder have called for the rapper to be jailed after he violated the rules of his house arrest, nipping out for 30 minutes on two separate occasions.
As previously reported, C-Murder, who these days goes by his real name of C Miller, was found guilty and jailed in 2003 for the shooting of 16 year old fan Steve Thomas outside the Platinum Club in Harvey, Louisiana, after several witnesses came forward to identify Miller as the shooter.
The rapper appealed the verdict, and at a subsequent hearing in 2006 a woman testified that she had witnessed another man, known as Calliope Slim, brandishing a firearm moments before the shooting, information which she claims she told investigating officers before the original case came to court, but which was never mentioned during the trial.
It was also revealed that detectives had cleared parking tickets and a felony theft arrest warrant in exchange for another testimony against Miller.
In light of this new evidence a retrial was ordered and Miller was released from jail and placed under house arrest, while awaiting a new court date. Unfortunately for him, that trial has been some time coming, but a date is now set for 20 Apr.
At a hearing this week, Judge Hans Lijeberg agreed with prosecutors that Miller should be jailed in the run up to the trial for violating his house arrest but then changed his mind 10 minutes later, instead warning the rapper to "conduct himself accordingly" while he waits to go to court.
There's no word on whether or not Miller warned the judge not to be so indecisive. Maybe that wouldn't be such a clever move.
