Kim Kardashian has been working to free rapper C-Murder, real name Corey Miller, for some years, and she provided an update in a public statement released on Thursday (August 3). 

Kim revealed that a new Louisiana state law would allow Miller the right to another trial. She explained, "Louisiana recently enacted a new law that provides innocent people with the ability to raise a post-conviction claim of factual innocence."

Kim added, "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. Corey Miller deserves a day in court to test the veracity of the recanted statements and to prove that he did not shoot Steve Thomas." 

Back in 2020, Kim spoke about the case on Twitter, writing, "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. 

"True justice for the young man requires that the person who actually killed him be held responsible and that Corey Miller [be] returned home to his kids."
