C-Murder Juror Pressured To Vote Guilty

By Chris Richburg

“Brutal” pressure to deliver a guilty verdict for No Limit rapper Corey “C-Murder” Miller could possibly work in favor of the recently imprisoned entertainer.

Despite casting the deciding vote twice in Miller’s much publicized murder trial, Mary Jacob now admits that she was not entirely convinced the 38-year rapper was guilty of killing Steve Thomas in the now-closed Platinum Club on Jan. 12, 2002.

According to reports, Thomas, 16, was shot through his heart while being stomped by a group of men during an event at the nightspot. A 10-2 verdict, the minimum required by state law for a second-degree murder conviction, was delivered on August 12 to seal Miller’s fate.

“This thing had to come to an end for this girl’s health, her sanity,” Jacob told The Times-Picayune about the 20-year-old Xavier University student who voted for the rapper’s innocence. “I believe what happened to Steve Thomas on the floor of the Platinum Club happened to her verbally. “I was more worried about this little girl than I was about Corey Miller,” added Jacobs, who still believes that prosecutors did not prove their case “beyond a reasonable doubt.”
