The New Orleans Advocate reports that Judge Steven Enright ruled Wednesday that C-Murder didn’t meet the burden of proof for post-conviction relief. Miller’s attorneys had asked that his 2009 conviction in Steven Thomas’ death be thrown out.

Miller petitioned the court with sworn affidavits from eyewitnesses Kenneth and Darnell Jordan, who now say they didn’t see Miller shoot.
Judge Enright wrote that Darnell Jordan consistently testified before the grand jury and at Miller’s first and second trial. Enright found Kenneth Jordan’s claim that investigators offered him leniency not credible. Miller’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel was ruled against.
The true-crime television series Reasonable Doubt focused on this high-profile case.
