Rapper Corey 'C-Murder' Miller is heading back to court, after a judge set September 13 as the date for his second murder trial.
Miller, who was convicted in September for the shooting death of 16-year-old Steve Thomas after an alleged confrontation outside a Louisiana nightclub in 2002, was never sentenced due to allegations the prosecution withheld evidence.
Miller faced a mandatory life sentence without parole after the ruling.
But in April Louisiana state District Judge Martha Sassone ruled that Miller deserves a new trial because prosecutors had withheld key information about the witnesses they called to implicate him. The judge set the date for the second trial on Monday.
One of the key arguments for the defense's motion for a retrial, was the revelation that local detectives cleared a prosecution witness' parking tickets and an arrest warrant for felony theft charges.
Miller, brother of rap mogul Master P, has pleaded innocent.
