According to prosecutors, this is not C-Murder‘s first time violating his house arrest. His lawyer, Ron Rakosky, tells a different story, however. Rakosky claims his client was home asleep during the alleged violation.
The 37-year-old rapper is set to stand trial for Thomas‘ murder for the second time. He was granted a second trial when it was revealed that prosecutors withheld the criminal records of three of their witnesses.
C-Murder‘s second trial will begin on April 20. If convicted, he will serve life in prison.
