C-Murder
- Crime: he was convicted of second degree murder, in 2002
Corey Miller, known by his stage name C-Murder, is an American rapper, actor, author and convicted murderer. C-Murder gained fame in the 1990s as a part of the rap group TRU, with his brothers Master P and Silkk the Shocker.
In 2002, the rapper was arrested in connection with the murder of Steve Thomas, a 16 year old boy. It has been said that the reason for the killing was after the 16 year old boy embarrassed the rapper during a rap battle. Miller was later convicted of second degree murder, but in 2006 the verdict was overturned by the Louisiana Supreme Court. On August 14, 2009, the rapper was sentenced to life in prison.
However, Kim Kardashian is now fighting for his release. “The jury convicted Corey 10-2 and he has sentenced him to life in prison. If his trial was today, the jury would have had to be unanimous for him to be convicted. Since his trial, witnesses have recanted, new evidence of his potential innocence has come to light, and there are claims of jurors being pressured into voting to convict. True justice for the young man requires that the person who actually killed him be held responsible and that Corey Miller returned home to his kids,” said Kim Kardashian West in a series of tweets.

Don King was charged with two different killings. The first one: he shot Hillary Brown in the back, but he was found not guilty on grounds of self-defense as Brown was trying to rob him. The second one: King was convicted of second degree murder after killing Sam Garrett – an employee who owed him about $600. He served nearly four years for this murder in prison until he was pardoned by Ohio Governor James A. Rhodes.
