'C-Murder' back
to C-block
Rapper Corey "C-Murder" Miller was convicted yesterday of second-degree murder for the 2002 shooting of 16-year-old fan Steve Thomas at a nightclub in Harvey, La.
The jury reached the 10-2 verdict about 1:30 p.m. in its second day of deliberations. 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 because of a questionable vote.
Liljeberg said after the verdict's initial reading that one juror had apparently changed her vote just to end deliberations. Three jurors had been seen crying in the courtroom yesterday morning, and the day before they jurors sent a note that they were having trouble reaching a consensus.
The courtroom was completely silent when the verdict was given for the second time. More than a dozen law officers filled the center aisle, and the judged had warned that anyone who so much as gasped would be arrested.
The victim's family left in tears.
"I'm not rejoicing. I feel bad for [Miller's] family. But at least they can see him. What have we got but a grave site and a photograph," said Steve's father, George Thomas.
Miller's family and friends also cried outside the courtroom. His sister, Germaine Miller, shouted and accused the prosecutors of corruption. Miller was previously found guilty of killing Thomas, but a judge overturned the conviction, siding with defense attorneys, who said prosecutors improperly withheld criminal-background information on three key witnesses.
MJ update
Propofol, the potent anesthetic that Michael Jackson's doctor gave him as a sleep aid, came from a Las Vegas pharmacy searched yesterday by federal drug agents and police.
Los Angeles and Las Vegas police and DEA agents served a sealed search warrant at Applied Pharmacy Services in Las Vegas, which a law-enforcement official said legally sold propofol to Murray. Investigators found large amounts of the drug and other medications in Jackson's home after his death. DEA agents tracked the anesthetic back to the Las Vegas pharmacy.
The pharmacy staff was cooperative.
Through a spokeswoman, Murray's attorney, Edward Chernoff, said he had not seen the warrant and had no immediate comment.
Murray has talked with detectives but has not spoken publicly since Michael died. Chernoff has said Murray gave Michael nothing that "should have" killed him and specifically said Murray had not given Michael the narcotic painkillers Demerol or OxyContin.
