The Supreme Court has denied C-Murder’s appeal of a murder conviction, a last-ditch effort to spring the rapper from prison.
US News reports that the court rejected the appeal, which stemmed from C-Murder killing a 16-year-old fan in Louisiana.
C-Murder’s attorneys argued that because federal juries must reach unanimous verdicts in criminal cases C-Murder should not have been convicted. A jury voted 10-2 to convict the rapper.
However, Louisiana is one of two states that allow for non-unanimous convictions.
C-Murder was sentenced to life in prison in 2009 for shooting and killing Steve Thomas at a nightclub in 2002. Lawyers for C-Murder, who is Master P’s brother, filed an appeal in Louisiana in 2011. The conviction and life sentence were upheld in the Louisiana appeals court months later. He later filed to the Supreme Court, which delayed a ruling on the case in 2012.

Did his DNA match?

At least he is no snitch.
I’m sure that will make him feel better when he’s 70 years old still rotting away in prison as his entire life and freedom passed him by.
C-Murder the murder
Welp, you picked a name like “C-Murder”, you stayed in the streets and it came back to bite yo azz. If you didn’t do it homie, you should have snitched. I’m not taking no life sentence for nobody. So you locked up till you die, and the one that really did it is somewhere in Houston popping bottles? NEEGRO PALEEZE. I bet you, he ain’t even sending you no loot or letters. Wake up dumbasses. Why protect someone that could give less of a damn about you for real?
there’s a video of the club shooting, that has been floating on the internet for years, and as bad as i hate to say it he did it……guess he shoulda taken off all that no limit stuff off (dumb ass)
Good riddance shit bag.
Now if only they would’ve did the same thing to Ray Lewis.
