C NO MURDER?: C-Murder’s Lawyer Wants Conviction Reversed After 2nd Witness Recants Testimony

A second witness has recanted their testimony in C-Murder’s case.

C-Murder is currently serving a life sentence behind bars but it looks like there’s a chance the conviction could be reversed. Last week, a key witness in his trial recanted their statement against the rapper and admitted the police pressured him into giving a false testimony. Now, the second key witness in the case has also recanted his testimony and C-Murder’s brother, Master P, is calling for his freedom.

Darnell Jordan, the second key witness in C-Murder’s case, has recanted his testimony against the incarcerated rapper,Times Picayune reports. Jordan claims that detectives coerced him into identifying C-Murder as the shooter.

“I am certain that Corey Miller did not shoot Steve Thomas,” Jordan said in a letter written to the 24th Judicial District Court.

Master P took to Instagram to speak on the Jordan’s retracting his statement. He shared a lengthy caption alongside a picture of his brother, C-Murder and assured that he maintained his innocence throughout the trial while closing it off with #FreeCoreyMiller and #InnocentMan hashtag.

Another key witness in Corey Miller’s case has come forward to recant his testimony Last week, a man named Kenneth Jordan admitted he lied under oath during Corey Miller’s trials, after cops threatened him with arrest. "I remember that they asked me if Corey Miller did the murder. My very first statement to them was Corey Miller didn't do this. They tricked me, I wasn't signing the photo to ID the shooter. I signed it because they told me to. They got me to ID Corey Miller’s picture and sign it," Darnell Jordan continued. Darnell Jordan claims he did not want to testify at Corey Miller’s first trial, so he skipped the state of Louisiana and headed to California. But police caught up with him, shackled him and shipped Jordan back to New Orleans. Darnell Jordan claims he was sequestered in a hotel for a week, when a detective (Donald Clogher) finally came in and forced him to sign a statement with words he maintains he never said. According to Darnell Jordan, he was not able to fully tell his side of the story in court, and claims he saw the gun flash come from the opposite side of the room where Corey Miller was standing, meaning the rap star could not have been the shooter. The bouncer said he also frisked Corey miller, who was free of any contraband, including a gun. During the second trial, the police came to Darnell Jordan's mother-in-law's house with their guns drawn. Darnell Jordan says he was sent to solitary confinement in jail for a few days, and then sent to another hotel room, where he was not allowed to speak to anyone but his wife, as the trial took place. Lawyers for Corey Miller have maintained that each one of his trials has been tainted by shady prosecutors, unreliable witnesses and a juror who admitted she was pressured to find the rap star guilty. #freecoreymiller #innocentman

C-Murder’s attorney, Paul Barker, is working hard to get the conviction reversed.

“Mr. Miller is indeed innocent of the murder for which he has been convicted, and it is high time that this illegal conviction and sentence be reversed and vacated,” Barker wrote in a memorandum on Monday which also asked for a new trial.

At this point, both key witnesses have accused the detectives and prosecutors of forcing them to make false statements. Hopefully, justice prevails and C-Murder’s conviction gets reversed.
