Because of the guilty verdict, C-murder, real name Corey Miller, will received an automatic life sentence.
Miller�s family still stands by his claim of innocence and plan to appeal the verdict. His father, Percy Miller Sr, told reporters following the conviction, �My son didn�t do that.�
Miller was convicted of killing Steve Thomas. According to two prosecution witnesses Miller reportedly beat and then shot Thomas outside of the Platinum Club in Harvey Louisiana, on Janaury 12, 2002.
Thomas was at the club participating in an emcee battle, and an altercation broke out between him and Miller.
The defense brought forth several witnesses that testified that Miller had not been involved in the incident; however, their testimony was largely discredited when different witnesses gave different descriptions of what Miller was actually wearing.
The victim�s father, Gorge Thomas, told the press following the conviction that his son could now �rest in peace�.
Following the conviction, the Jefferson Parish Assistant District Attorney Douglas W. Freese reportedly told members of the press that were present, �I believe the killer has been put where he belongs."
Miller�s attorney reportedly avoided the press following the verdict.
Miller is the younger brother of rap and entertainment mogul Master P.
