Rapper’s gag order eased by judge
A rapper under house arrest can promote his new CD and novel but cannot talk about the second-degree murder charge against him, a Louisiana judge has ruled.
Corey Miller, 35, has been ordered to stay at his grandmother’s Kenner, La., home until his new trial in the Jan. 12, 2002, death of a 16-year-old boy who was shot in the chest during a brawl at a now-closed club in Harvey. No trial date has been set.
Judge Martha Sassone said, “As it pertains to his livelihood, [Miller] can speak to whomever he likes on the phone insofar as it doesn’t relate to this case.”
Miller’s attorneys had argued that Sassone’s gag order about the case conflicted with his constitutional right to free speech and expression.
