C-Murder, who now prefers to go by Corey Miller, received good news on Friday, (March 10) when The Louisiana Supreme Court overturned his murder conviction and accepted his request for a new trial.
As SOHH previously reported, the New Orleans native was seeking a new trial last month.
Miller was convicted of second-degree murder in 2003, for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of Steve Thomas, 16, outside the now-defunct Platinum Club in Louisiana.
Miller was sentenced to life in prison without parole, and was previously denied a new trial in March of last year.
At press time, Miller's attorney, Ron Rakosky, divulged that he hoped to have him out on bond as soon as Monday.
District Attorney Paul Connick Jr., stated that he had not had time to review the ruling and refused to comment. Connick's office will have the decision on whether to retry the case.
In related news, Miller's brothers, Master P and Silkk The Shocker, are currently caught up in their own legal drama. The rappers (born Percy Miller and Vyshonn Miller) were recently ordered to stand trial on weapons charges in California.
