Kim Kardashian has recently been using her voice to advocate for the release of Master P’s incarcerated brother, C-Murder. However, this gesture has been seen as a slap in the face to the family of C-Murder’s alleged victim. George Thomas, the brother of the slain Steve Thomas, expresses his dissatisfaction with the advocacy from celebrities like Kim Kardashian. He believes that their support for C-Murder reopens the deep wounds that the family has been trying to heal for years.
According to George, the constant advocacy from Kim Kardashian and other celebrities has made it impossible for the family to properly mourn Steve’s death. Steve was only 16 when he was killed, and the pain caused by his loss is continually brought back to the surface. George feels that there is a mountain of evidence pointing to C-Murder as the killer, and he believes that it is only celebrities, not the common man, who want the rapper freed from prison.
Kim Kardashian recently praised a new Louisiana law that allows the incarcerated to prove their innocence. She believes that this law could be C-Murder’s ticket to freedom, as his conviction is based on the testimony of two men who have now recanted their statements. George Thomas, however, disagrees with Kim’s viewpoint. He supports her advocacy for innocent people, but he firmly believes that C-Murder is guilty. C-Murder’s conviction was upheld in 2011, and he even appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which refused to hear his case.
C-Murder was found guilty of second-degree murder for the beating and shooting death of Steve Thomas. He was sentenced to mandatory life in prison. Despite this, C-Murder’s legal team has been fighting for his release, claiming that he did not receive a fair trial due to jury irregularities. They argue that one juror voted guilty not based on the evidence but to protect another juror who refused to convict C-Murder. This juror was reportedly targeted by other jurors to change her mind.
The debate surrounding C-Murder’s release from prison is a complex and emotionally charged one. On one hand, there are arguments for his innocence based on new evidence and legal technicalities. On the other hand, there are the feelings of the victim’s family, who believe that C-Murder is guilty and that his release would be an injustice.
