As part of her ongoing campaign to handle America's mass-incarceration problem, Kim Kardashian West is now campaigning for the release of New Orleans rapper C-Murder. The rapper, whose real name is Corey Miller, is the brother of rap superstar Master P. In 2002, one of the fans of Miller was fatally shot in New Orleans, as per a leading daily.

On January 18, 2002 a tragedy occurred when a young man was killed. The next day Corey Miller was arrested for the murder.
Miller was found as a convict of the killing in 2009. Since the incident, Miller has maintained his innocence."The jury convicted Corey 10-2 and they have 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 West said in a series of tweets Sunday. "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."

The two witnesses in 2018 said that Miller wasn't the killer and that they felt pressured to lie under oath, a leading media reported. She said she is teaming up with singer Monica, who was dating Miller at the time, to fight for the rapper's release. "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," Monica said in her Instagram post.

Kardashian West has been fighting for criminal justice reform for a longer time. She made headlines in 2018 when Alice Marie Johnson, a first-time nonviolent drug offender who'd been serving a life sentence since 1996, was freed from prison after President Donald Trump commuted her sentence. Her freedom came just days after Kardashian West pleaded Johnson's case to Trump.
