Prosecutors Wants C-Murder Behind Bars

With a new judge presiding over Corey "C-Murder" Miller's case, Jefferson Parish prosecutors Monday renewed an effort to jail the rapper until his new trial on a murder charge and will argue next week to increase his bond.


During his first hearing in the case, Judge Hans Liljeberg of the 24th Judicial District ordered Miller to jail after hearing that Miller had violated the rules of his house arrest.

But Liljeberg rescinded his order about 10 minutes later, leaving Miller with this warning: "I will be looking for a reason to increase your bond," Liljeberg said. "So conduct yourself accordingly."

Meanwhile, Liljeberg set Miller's trial for April 20, noting that Monday is the seventh anniversary of the slaying for which the rapper is accused. Former Judge Martha Sassone late last year had set Monday as a trial status hearing, according to court records that later were changed to set Monday as the trial date.
