Following a celebrity basketball charity event, Master P held a rally for his younger brother Corey “C-Murder” Miller on Thursday (July 5) on the Xavier University campus in New Orleans.
Miller is currently serving a life sentence for the 2002 murder of 16-year-old Steven Thomas. But after two key witnesses in Miller’s case recently recanted their statements pointing the finger at the No Limit rapper, Master P is demanding his brother’s release from the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola.
“It’s time for him to come home,” Master P said in a video shared by Nola.com. “They have no more witnesses. They already came and recanted their statements.”
Miller’s attorney was on hand for the rally and said he’d just spoken to his client who remains “cautiously optimistic.”
After a “Free Corey Miller” chant erupted from the crowd, Master P reminded those in attendance what he was fighting for.
“I want this to be about innocent people that are incarcerated,” he said. “Corey told me, he say, ‘If somebody committed a crime, they should be incarcerated.’ I mean, he’s a tough guy, he’s not perfect. But he told me, he said, ‘Big brother, I know I made a lot of mistakes. I named myself what I named myself.
“I’ve been convicted for my music but you know what? That can’t stop an innocent man and music is not a crime and naming yourself something is not a crime.’ Evidence shows that he is innocent. We can’t wait to get him home. We love y’all. We gonna keep supporting this movement.”
Miller was convicted in 2009 and has maintained his innocence since his arrest. In 2017, a Jefferson Parish judge ordered Miller to pay $1.15 million to Thomas’ family.
Since his conviction, he’s released at least four projects, including the 2016 Boosie Badazz collaboration, Penitentiary Chances. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Is this Master P making up for not appearing on the episode of Reasonable Doubt that’s about C-Murder’s case?
He has a family of his own and is a busy businessman. He has been relentless in his brothers defense where it matters in the courts.
G has a point. Along with that, on the episode one of the 2 witnesses recanted their testimony which is big.
He said while his brother was in prison that he tried to change him but at some point you go to let them go. He believed his brother did it.
Keep the momentum going! Free Corey Miller this case has too much reasonable doubt. I do not believe Master P would stand up for him if he did not believe that his brother was innocent.
You sir, are a moron.
I remember buying No Limit music products and through them INC. they always had Free Soulja Slim shirts , Free Mac shirts , and C- Murder shirts I remember seeing Snoop Dogg with a Free Soulja Slim & Mac shirt on and I wanted one because I honestly fan Snoop Dogg give us THE GAME IS TO BE SOLD NOT TOLD so he give us THE LAST MEAL $20 TO MY NAME – SONG OF THE C-MURDER THE REALEST S**T I EVER WROTE .
No offense to the cause but why did it take this long for the men to recant there testimony? Paid off perhaps? There’s no reason to believe these men are now truthful and why they would risk going to prison themselves for lying under oath after all these years?
Free em til they all free!
THIS is a sham and an insult to anyone who is actually innocent and incarcerated. This fool had way too many chances….focus on freeing those who deserve it, not on someone trying not buy freedom
That’s the price you pay for not snitching. Ok, those 2 men recanted, which i find fishy. Even so, your freedom isn’t that important to you that you’re choosing some criminal over your family. A loyalty that doesn’t go both ways because the one he’s protecting isn’t willing to man-up and admit he did it. If what hes stating is true, then you gave this person 10 yrs of freedom and to get his shit in order and person feels him and his family is more important than yours. This is the 1 time the justice system didnt fail you, you failed you. So stay loyal andvstsy in jail. Save my cares for real innocent men and women.
