Found Guilty

A New Orleans jury has found Corey “C-Murder” Miller guilty of second-degree murder, in relation to January 12, 2002 death of 16-year-old Steve Thomas.

Yesterday a jury of seven women and five men told Judge Hans Liljeberg they were initially deadlocked over Miller's guilt regarding the shooting death of the teenager during a dispute in Club Platinum, a defunct nightclub in Harvey.

Judge Liljeberg ordered them to continue deliberating stating that he had juries with lessor charges deliberate for over eight hours.

Prosecutors wrapped up their closing arguments to the jury around 10:00 am, while Miller’s attorney finished his around 10:40 AM yesterday.

Today, the jury came back with a guilty verdict, although Judge Liljeberg voided the verdict, claiming one juror may have rushed to a decision of guilt in order to end the trial.
