C-Murder Accused Of Violating House Arrest, Thrown In Jail
Posted on 10. Mar, 2009 by Blogger in News
According to The Associated Press, police claim that the rapper’s electronic monitor indicated early Monday morning that he was out of range for about 10 minutes.
Ron Rakosky, C- Murder’s lawyer, claims that his client was at home sleeping when he received a call from authorities at 3 a.m. notifying him that the monitor indicated he was out of range.
C-Murder, born Corey Miller is accused of killing sixteen year old Steve Thomas in 2002 during a brawl at the defunct Platinum Club in Louisiana.
The rapper has been under house arrest since he was released on $500,000 bond in 2006 after his murder conviction was overturned and he was granted a new trial.
During a hearing last month, prosecutors tried to persuade a judge to throw C-Murder in jail claiming that the rapper had repeatedly violated his house arrest but their request was turned down.
C-Murder testified during the February hearing that he had never left his home.
The rapper’s aunt, Joyce Marie Miller, also took the stand and said that C- Murder had never left his home. She also claimed that the monitor appeared to malfunction at times.
C-Murder could see his bond increased if the accusations stick.
The rapper’s re-trial on second degree murder charges is scheduled to begin on April 20th.
