On the night of January 12, 2002, Corey MIller went to the Platinum Club in Jefferson Parish, LA. Corey, professionally known as “C-Murder,” lived in New Orleans and was at the peak of his rap career after being signed to the prominent label No Limit Records. A fight broke out at the overcrowded club, gunshots followed, and 16-year-old Steve Thomas was killed. 

Eyewitness testimony alleging Corey as the shooter led to his arrest, and he was charged with second degree murder. The prosecution had no physical evidence, only eyewitness testimony. And the State was later found to have suppressed evidence helpful to the defense. Yet and still, after 2 trials and over 60 votes by the jury, Corey was convicted and sentenced to mandatory life in prison.
