Aug 12 (IBNS) Rapper Corey, commonly known as “C-Murder Miller”, has been convicted of second-degree murder in the 2002 shooting of a fan at a nightclub.

The Washington post reported that Louisiana jury reached the 10-2 verdict Tuesday afternoon in its second day of deliberations. The Louisiana jury announced Tuesday that it found Miller guilty of second-degree murder of 16-year-old Steve Thomas, in a nightclub in 2002, and faces life in prison for the killing.

The jurors had reached the same verdict earlier in the day, but district Judge Hans Liljeberg ordered them back to the jury room, for more deliberation on a questionable vote, warning that the verdict could be invalid.

Judge Liljeberg initially said that one of the jurors changed her vote just to end deliberations. The judge told the jurors to go over the decision again and asked the juror to consider whether her vote was in good faith. The jury voted 10-2 for the guilty verdict. At least 10 jurors must agree on a verdict.

The judge also denied a defense motion for a mistrial.

Miller was first brought to trial for the in 2003, and he changed his name from “C-Murder” to “C-Miller” in the wake of the charges. He was found guilty of murder and he was sentenced to life but the verdict was kept aside by the Louisiana Supreme Court in 2006; the rapper was subsequently put under house arrest.
