No justice, no peace? After receiving his second guilty verdict for second-degree murder, rapper C-Murder's sister is speaking out, calling for the help of President Barack Obama. Germaine, the older sister of the former rapper left the courtroom visibly distraught following the verdict. "I have feelings and I'm sorry for Steve Thomas' family," she said . "I lost a brother also! Where are all the witnesses at the club? Come out, be here, be a witness, come up here! If you [are] not Corey, don't worry about [the name] C-Murder, you come up here and show these people we need to deal with this! We need to deal with it. I'm tired of everybody holding their breath. Where is justice? Where is Barack?"
C-Murder, born Corey Miller, was convicted of second-degree murder for the 2002 shooting of 16-year-old Steve Thomas. Miller appealed his first conviction and was granted a mistrial after it was revealed that the prosecution may have improperly handled criminal records of three witnesses. The second trial began August 3 and included new evidence and testimony. The jury reached a 10-2 vote finding Miller guilty of the murder. However Judge Hans Lilijeberg ordered jurors to vote a second time before handing down the final verdict.
Despite their own loss, Thomas' parents expressed their remorse to Millers family. "My baby can rest," said Thomas' father. " I'm not rejoicing over this, I feel sorry. At least they [Miller's family] can see him. All I [have] is a grave."
Miller faces mandatory life in prison and will be officially sentenced August 14.

i FEEL THAT PEOPLE JUST TRY TO LOOK FOR THINGS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT, MILLIONS OF INNOCENT MEN (BLACK & WHITE & HISPANIC) GET LOCKED UP FOR CRIMES THEY MAY NOT HAVE COMMITTED, BUT SINCE HE A BIG NAME RAPPER YOU WANNA CALL ON OBAMA? WELL HE GOT OTHER ISSUES TO WORRY ABOUT! WHO WOULD YOU HAVE CALLED ON IF JOHN MACAIN HAD ONE. HERE'S ANOTHER ISSUE THAT WAS ADDED TO THE US. AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TRY AND CALL ON OBAMA OVER EVERY SINGLE THING IN THE JUDICIAL COURT. WELL NOT ALL OF THEM BUT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TRY TO ABUSE THE POWER OF HAVING A AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT IN OFFICE. I UNDERSTAND THE COURT SYSTEM AINT FAIR BUT INSTEAD OF CALLING ON OTHERS TO BAIL YOU OR YO FAMILY OUT OF A SITUATION THAT THEY MOST LIKELY PUT THEN SELVES IN YOU NEED TO TRY TO HELP YO SELF.

Do you really think Barack would pardon a killer. He made his bed now he has to lay in it. He should go to jail for the rest of his life. his sister is really stupid if she even thinks Obama would eben pay this dumb rapper any attention. NO WAY

When you stop going to places where you know d+mn well there's likely to be retaliating thugs, when you stop carrying weapons to social events, when you stop perpetuating that you are society's victim, when you start identifying perpetrators, when you start owning up to your own involvement, when you start teaching your fatherless children to respect the laws, by-laws, and sociatal rules already in place, maybe then others would "get you back". Until then, sweetcakes, you and your Brother got what you deserved.

This total idiot runs around w/ a stage name of C-Murder and tries to live his life like a gang-banger when he could have chose to be a positive role model instead. Now he's crying like the sissy be-ach he'll be in prison and all of a sudden he doesn't want to play gang turd anymore. Euthanize his punk azz and invite Barack to watch to send a message to all the little gang punks (wanna-be's like C-dick or real in the street thugs). Black America, wake up, it's not White America keeping you down, it's these morons, ask Bill Cosby....or is he white-bread for not bangin' & killin' & stealin'?

She is calling on Obaba to help? Birds of a feather do flock together!! Her brother is a murderer, it's even in his stage name. Fry him, fry him slow and painful. He deserved nothing better for the crimes he has committed.

This is ridiculous! Obama PARDON a rapper? Besides the families involved, who gives a sh*t! I worry about wannabeez, whiggars, what ever. It's all about drugs, sex sex sex, money and its trappings. Why work when you can rip off from someone who HAS? People disgust me anymore.

She is wasting her time trying to get a guilty man free from his crime and obama will not aid her at all, She's wasting her time
cascadesat 8-13-2009
She sounds like a damned fool. Why does she think President Obama would even take the time for this thug. You live by the sword, you die by the sword. Or in this case, your dumb ass will be locked up for the remainder of your sorry life.

I read an article a few days ago about this case and based on that I say that he should not have been found guilty. It was reported that no one ever saw him with a gun. It doesn't matter what people think maybe true, but only what can be proven. The prosecutions key witness testified to that fact. He said that he saw C-Murder go into the crowd and then he heard gun fire. I would hope that the jury needed more than that to convict him.

Beverly,
You are basing your opinion on ONE article. I guess we should be glad that you weren't on the jury. One article doesn't innocense (or guilt) indicate.
As for C-Murder's (sheesh...) sister calling on Obama...typical.

"what you dont think whites influence blacks in a negative way?white folks started this thug shit.how you think america was built?white thugs came here on a ship and stole the land from the red man.those white thugs murdered man,women and child.white thugs are the first to do a drive by on horses.white thugs went to africa and stole the african from his land.why?so that the white thugs could profit off free labor.africans were raped,burned,hanged.they were stripped of freedom.they white thugs were parents and the slave were the children,learning the ways of massa.a child would look up to their parents and sometimes follow in the ways of their parents.so....black thugs are a reflection of the white thugs.whites thugs are the most notorious gangs known to man.history tells us that.its easy for the white thug to point the finger at the black thug for america being messed up,but i look at the beginning of where it all started.in the hand of white america."You have got to be the dumbest asshole on the face of the earth. And I thought this thug's sister's comment about him being innocent was stupid. You probably think there is no such thing as a guilty black person. You are so fucked in the head!!! By the way, you conveniently forget to mention, that blacks were sold into slavery by their own people. But hey, keep on blaming whitey for all of your problems. Racism in America still exists because of assholes like you. And while we're at it, learn to speak proper english, your 6th grade education ain't cutting it. And if you hate this country so damn much, move to Liberia. I'd be more than happy to see you go. This thug deserves the death penalty, you know it and I know it.

He acted like a gang-banger, I bet he's living it now being gangbanged in prison. Multiple murderer's should go to the head of the line for the death penelty. Another low-life off the streets for good.
