Kim Kardashian is fighting to free rapper C-Murder, the brother of Master P, who was convicted of murder and is serving a life sentence behind bars.
The reality TV star, who received a four-year apprenticeship with a San Francisco law firm in 2018, believes the rapper — whose real name is Corey Miller — was wrongfully convicted of the 2002 killing of Steve Thomas. Kardashian chose to bring the case to the public's attention on Twitter over the weekend.
"On January 18, 2002 a tragedy occurred when a young man was killed. The next day Corey Miller was arrested for the murder," she began in a lengthy thread.
"The jury convicted Corey 10-2 and he was sentenced him to life in prison. If his trial was today, the jury would have had to be unanimous for him to be convicted," Kardashian continued. "Since his trial, witnesses have recanted, new evidence of his potential innocence has come to light, and there are claims of jurors being pressured into voting to convict."
She added: "True justice for the young man requires that the person who actually killed him be held responsible and that Corey Miller he returned home to his kids."
Kardashian further expressed empathy to the Thomas family for the death of their 16-year-old son.
"My heart goes out to the family of Steve Thomas. I can only imagine how hard this is and my intention is never to open up this painful wound but to help find the truth behind this tragedy," she wrote.
C-Murder's ex, Monica Denise, also took to social media to air the 49-year-old rapper's plight.
"Corey deserves to come home to his girls and be the father they need, be the artist & leader he’s always been as well as spread hope to those who have also experienced this..," she wrote in an Instagram post over the weekend. "I’ve locked arms with @kimkardashian, @jessicajackson, @edyhaney and all those who believe in Corey and are ready to fight to #FreeCoreyMiller #FreeCoreyMiller #FreeCoreyMiller."
