C- Murder's trial which was slated to take place this month has been pushed back to October due to ongoing wrangling between prosecutors and  the defense attorneys over witnesses' backgrounds.

C- Murder, whose real name is Corey Miller, has been awaiting retrial on a second-degree murder charge in the 2002 killing of sixteen year old Steve Thomas, who was shot in the chest during a brawl in the defunct Platinum Club in Louisiana.

The rapper has been under house arrest since he was released on bond in March 2006, after the Louisiana Supreme Court overturned his murder conviction and accepted his request for a new trial.

According to The Times Picayune, Judge Martha Sassone agreed to  a  request by the prosecutors and defense attorneys to push back the trial date yesterday (June 5).

The trial will now begin on October 14th.  Due to a gag order given by Sassone, attorneys could not speak further on the delay or the case.
