Kim Kardashian is continuing her prison reform efforts by supporting Corey Miller (C-Murder), rapper Master P’s brother, who has been in jail for over 20 years.
Miller was convicted of second-degree murder in 2002, a crime Kardashian believes he didn’t commit.
On social media, Kim highlighted Miller’s story and a new Louisiana law, Section 926.2. This law lets inmates like the former rapper present new evidence for their innocence.

“I wanted to shed some light on a case that I’ve been working on for years,” Kardashian began. “Corey Miller has spent 21 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, and his conviction is based entirely on the testimony of two men, who the State dragged to trial just on material witness warrants. Those men have now sworn that their prior testimony was untrue.”
She continued, “There is no remaining evidence that suggests that Corey Miller is any more culpable than the hundreds of patrons who were at the Platinum Club on January 12, 2002, when Steve Thomas was tragically shot.”
Kardashian claims that instead of looking for the “real perpetrator,” the local sheriff’s office focused solely on building a case against Miller
“The lead detective harassed multiple witnesses and mishandled the case to such a degree that the trial court had no choice but to grant Mr. Miller a new trial after he was convicted in 2003,” she continued.
In 2009, four months before his second trial, Kardashian asserted that Miller’s lawyer tried to withdraw, citing years of unpaid fees.
“The new judge refused to allow counsel to withdraw, and Mr. Miller stood trial for a second time with an attorney who made no effort to call favorable witnesses to testify,” Kardashian claimed. “The State’s case was minimal, limited to the now recanted testimony of Darnell and Kenneth Jordan, and rather than call the five defense witnesses who testified at the first trial that Mr. Miller was not the shooter, trial counsel played the audio of their testimony for the jury.”
Despite the weak defense, Kardashian pointed out that the jury saw the evident problems in the State’s case and deliberated for over 24 hours.
“After being sequestered overnight, the jury attempted to return a 10-2 verdict, with one juror stating she was only voting guilty ‘under duress.’ The court returned the jury to deliberations, and the juror changed her vote from ‘guilty under duress’ to ‘guilty.’ The same juror spoke to the local newspaper the day after the verdict and confirmed that she did not believe the State proved Mr. Miller was guilty but voted guilty to end deliberations,” she explained.
“Mr. Miller was convicted by a 10-2 verdict, which the Supreme Court has since held violates the Sixth Amendment right to a trial by jury, while not applying retroactively, Kardashian continued before sharing Louisiana’s new law. “Louisiana recently enacted a new law that provides innocent people with the ability to raise a post-conviction claim of factual innocence. Mr. Miller has raised such a claim and, like all of his prior post-conviction filings, has been denied relief without even so much as an evidentiary hearing. In light of the fact that the only witnesses have completely recanted their testimony, there is absolutely no remaining evidence against Mr. Miller.”
With this new law and Kardashian’s plea, there’s hope that Miller can finally prove his innocence regarding the Steve Thomas shooting.
“If you agree that Corey Miller deserves his day in court, please repost this,” Kardashian added. “While I strongly believe in Corey’s innocence, my heart goes out to the victims- and I pray for their healing and the closure that they deserve.”
Kardashian is joined in supporting Miller by Master P, his family, and ex-girlfriend Monica Brown. In 2019, his last attempt for freedom was unsuccessful as recanted statements weren’t deemed credible for a retrial.
