After both witnesses recanted, Rapper Corey Miller, aka C-Murder, is denied chance for retrial in 2002 Harvey killing

This is completely ridiculous. This is definitely a sad world that we live in, yet everyone preaches justice. Our hearts go out to Corey and his family.

[Source New Orleans Advocate] “Corey Miller, the recording artist best known as C-Murder, failed in a bid to have his conviction for a 2002 killing in Harvey thrown out or retried, after a state judge ruled Thursday that the recantations of two witnesses in the case were not credible.

Judge Steven Enright of the 24th Judicial District Court in Gretna ruled Wednesday that Miller, who was convicted in 2009 of fatally shooting Steven Thomas in a Harvey nightclub in 2002, did not meet the burden of proof for post-conviction relief.

Miller’s attorney had argued in a series of legal briefings that his conviction thrown out, or that he least be granted a hearing to argue the matter in court.”
