Kim Kardashian West has been coined the "princess of prison reform" and her next case might be for a New Orleans legend.
Mrs. West recently began to advocate for the release of C-Murder who she believes was wrongly convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.
Kim tweeted, "The jury convicted Corey 10-2 and he was sentenced to life in prison. If his trial was today, the jury would have had to be unanimous for him to be convicted," referring to the Supreme Court's April decision that jury verdicts in trials for serious crimes must be unanimous.
"Since his trial, witnesses have recanted, new evidence of his potential innocence has come to light, and there are claims of jurors being pressured into voting to convict. True justice for the young man requires that the person who actually killed him be held responsible and that Corey Miller be returned home to his kids," Kardashian West tweeted.
Kardashian West said she would be working with the singer Monica, who was dating Miller at the time of his arrest, as well as Jessica Jackson and Erin Haney of the REFORM Alliance, an organization that aims to "dramatically reduce the number of people who are unjustly under the control of the criminal justice system."
