When is C-Murder’s release date?

As Miller has been sentenced to life in prison, he will be unable to leave unless he can demonstrate that he is not liable for the crimes against him.

Until then, his release date is currently unknown.

However, controversy surrounding witnesses in his prosecution erupted in 2018, when two major witnesses recanted their statements.

Both claim they were coerced into testifying against Miller by authorities.

The first witness, Kenneth Jordan, came forward and said in a statement: “I know that the individual who I saw shoot the gun was not Corey Miller”.

The second witness, Darnell Jordan, said: “I am certain that Corey Miller did not shoot Steve Thomas”.

The rapper insists that he is innocent, and he, his brothers, and his nephew have all repeatedly requested a new trial.

American socialite Kim Kardashian – who finished her first year of law school at the start of 2020 – has stepped in to see if she can help free Miller and “find the truth behind this tragedy.”

The star wrote on Twitter: “True justice for the young man requires that the person who actually killed him be held responsible and that Corey Miller he returned home to his kids.

“My heart goes out to the family of Steve Thomas. I can only imagine how hard this is and my intention is never to open up this painful wound but to help find the truth behind this tragedy.”
