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.
